I have imported "xyz "folder into splunk and after indexing I want to check status of particular abc.txt file from that xyz folder.
how should I do that?

There's a decent description of how to use that endpoint here: http://blogs.splunk.com/2011/01/02/did-i-miss-christmas-2/

The path is in the result, so you can look for it there.

Thanks!
Thats correct for all monitored data but I want to work that endpoint for just single file.
example if i provide path of that file from folder with that endpoint then it will give me status like missing|ignored|reading completed .
is that possible?
Because I didn't found detail explanation of that endpoint.
