Getting Data In

Monitor directory with wildcards but not recursively

Splunk documentation is incorrect, as it states you should be able to do something like this :

[monitor:///ebs/*/var/log/access.log]

and it should pick up al these:

/ebs/why/var/log/access.log
/ebs/doesnt/var/log/access.log
/ebs/this/var/log/access.log
/ebs/work/var/log/access.log

so my question is, how do we do this?

Did you try explicitly setting recursive = true?
