Monitoring Splunk

Unable to monitor logs from windows machine.

Hi,
I am struggling to monitor files from a windows machine.

Below is my inputs.conf file

[default]
index=maspat

[monitor://C:\MASPAT\Results]
sourcetype=mas
crcSalt=
ignoreolderThan=1d

Not sure why I see an unknown log like below getting logged instead of the actual files.

LogName=Application
SourceName=SecurityCenter
EventCode=15
EventType=4
Type=Information
ComputerName=AZP*******.wm.com
TaskCategory=The operation completed successfully.
OpCode=Info
RecordNumber=72097
Keywords=Classic
Message=Updated Symantec Endpoint Protection status successfully to SECURITY_PRODUCT_STATE_SNOOZED.

There are various reasons why logs can not be acquired.
In addition to setting mistakes, search may also be wrong. Please check first according to troubleshooting.

By the way, are you using crcSalt correctly?
