I am getting the below error because of two files has same first two lines including timestamps in the different folder. ERROR TailReader - File will not be read, seekptr checksum did not match (file=filename.2021-01-19.txt). Last time we saw this initcrc, filename was different. You may wish to use larger initCrcLen for this sourcetype, or a CRC salt on this source. Consult the documentation or file a support case online at http://www.splunk.com/page/submit_issue for more info. The monitoring stanza has filename.*.txt. So if I increase the initcrc or crcSalt, then all the files under the folders will get re-indexed. Along with crcSalt, I tried to use ignoreOlderThan but still, the old files are getting re-indexed. Example: ignoreOlderThan=1d, means still yesterday files are getting re-indexed. Any better solution to prevent this?
