1. A monitor input will do this.  Monitor a directory and the UF will detect new files in that directory.  Add ... to the path and it will detect new subdirectories where the ... is. 2. A monitor input will do this, too.  Monitor a file and the UF will detect when data is added to the file.  Note that Splunk is designed to read new text added to the end of a file.  Changes in the middle will likely go undetected. 3. Nothing in Splunk will do that.  A workaround is to run a modular input (Python or Java program) that monitors the desired file(s) and then converts them when updates are detected. ... View more

@livehybrid 's advice is good.  IMO, the hardest part of integrating Git with Splunk is keeping your users and admins from making changes in the Splunk UI.  Changes made in the UI override those made in apps so it's critical to make sure all changes go through Git. ... View more

Generally speaking, apps and add-ons by the same(-ish) name go together.  Installing one without the other most likely will lead to disappointment. Apps typically provide dashboards and other user interface objects, whereas add-ons provide the product integrations.  The docs for the Cisco Secure Access App does not mention this dependency so perhaps it's not the case here.  There are a couple of things you can check: Verify the app is able to connect to your Cisco Secure Access server.  See Make a Secure Access API Request Verify your data is where the app expects to find it.  See https://developer.cisco.com/docs/cloud-security/cisco-cloud-security-app-for-splunk/#splunk-indexes   ...
