Hey Mountain1, this maybe related to a known issue filed (SOLN-829). In the meantime, can you try the following?
Modify file ../etc/apps/Splunk_CiscoIPS/local/inputs.conf
Replace this line:
[monitor://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/cisco_ips/var/log/]
With this line:
[monitor://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_CiscoIPS/var/log/]
If a local/inputs.conf doesn't yet exist create one and put the following in it:
[monitor://$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_CiscoIPS/var/log/]
sourcetype = cisco_ips_syslog
disabled = false
_whitelist = ips_sdee.log
You may have to restart Splunk. Please let me know if you start picking up events.
