Thanks for the reply. I tried that and i get the same results. After the initial bulk import, then setting it back to "continuously monitor" the logs returned "no messages returned", and the search date is set to 7-6-2018 once again. However in looking at the index the last indexed item was on 8/4 (when i did the bulk import).
