Monitoring Splunk

Keep invalid json files

Hi, I've set up a Splunk monitor to send some json files to Splunk, however it doesn't send invalid json files. I can see the reasoning behind this, but I'd like to keep invalid json files so that I can see which ones are valid/invalid on my dashboard.

Is there any way to make Splunk send over all json files even if they're invalid? Thanks

 

Edit:

For instance, could I maybe make a sourcetype which sets the sourcetype field to be "json" if valid and "invalid_json" if not valid?
