Hi Shaun,
First of all, it is a best practice to create inputs.conf under app's local folder instead of default. Howerver, this shouldn't be why you are getting in any data.
After you made changes to you .conf file on the universal forwarder (uf), have you restarted the instance? If not, I suggest you restart uf to make sure the changes will take effect.
On uf, use the following command to view the monitored directories and double-check they are correct:
splunk list monitor
Hope this helps. Thanks!
Hunter
