Output of 'splunk list monitor'

[dwaddle]

Is the output of 'splunk list monitor' clipped at all?

I have a directory with (approx) 50 log files, but the output only shows 30 or so. I know the additional 20 are being indexed, because I have events from them.

Also, does a deleted file ever disappear from the output of 'splunk list monitor'? (Except for at splunkd restart, of course)

Yes, the listing is definitely truncated to about 30 files. Deleted files do go away from the list eventually, after at most 24 hours on 4.0 systems (and earlier). They will probably go away sooner on 4.1 (and later).

24 hours almost to the minute...

This is on a version 4.0.10 system.

Can you specify the version of Splunk where your are monitoring files?
