I deleted an uploaded file"C:\Data\acctdata\snm4-logger.log" but when i am trying to upload it again after renaming it, i couldn see that file in summary page.So i checked in manager->data inputs,there i found that file .I opened that file i m a getting a notepad opened with the following message as

{"msg": "Successfully updated \"C:\Data\2013\Splunk\FTPLOG.log\". ", "redirect": "/en-US/manager/search/data/inputs/monitor?redirecting=true&msgid=1520000.788126835839&ns=search", "status": "OK"}

i proceeded with saving the file.but no progress from there.

You may want to add crcSalt = to your inputs.conf file for that particular input.

Any luck getting that to work?

command line out to the splunk bin directory. Stop splunk, run "splunk clean eventdata -index _thefishbucket"

That will tell splunk to start over from an indexing perspective, meaning it will see the file as new.

Let me know if that works.

Can we load the file in splunk by cloud version? and do we need to restart the splunk services after every config change?
