Have a few Windows server that I need to enable file monitoring on to be sending logs to Splunk Ent. server. I could use your hands-on experience please, including any SPLs, do's & don't. I found this link but is too generic. https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.4/Data/MonitorfilesystemchangesonWindows

Thanks a million in advance. Have a great week ahead.
