Splunk Search

Log file not being forwarded / indexed anymore?

As someone new to Splunk would appreciate some guidance - whilst I had some success in that an inputs and outputs have been configured and I can now search data in the GUI - it appears data has stopped being forwarded / consumed, the last event is Wed May 15 13:58:52 2013

However I can see the log files are still being updated and the data is constantly being added too.

Is my configuration in inputs wrong?

[monitor:///crd/ua1/mtusr10/91/serverapps/logs]
whitelist = cr_server.html$
disabled = false
crcSalt =
index = crd_index

[monitor:///crd/ua1/mtusr11/91/serverapps/logs]
whitelist = cr_server.html$
disabled = false
crcSalt =
index = crd_index

[monitor:///crd/ua1/mtusr11/91/serverapps/logs]
whitelist = cr_server.html$
disabled = false
crcSalt =
index = crd_index

Extract from splunkd on forwarder;

05-15-2013 23:22:16.465 +0100 INFO TailingProcessor - Parsing configuration stanza: monitor:///crd/ua1/mtusr11/91/serverapps/logs.
05-15-2013 23:22:16.465 +0100 INFO TailingProcessor - Adding watch on path: /crd/ua1/mtsys10/91/serverapps/logs.

Appreciate any help or guidance on things to check?

A found this was due to a lack of understanding of the front end GUI - the data was being consumed as required.

can you try like this below and change whitelist...

[monitor:///crd/ua1/mtusr10/91/serverapps/logs]
whitelist = cr_server\.html$
disabled = false
crcSalt =
index = crd_index
