need help with uploading a directory of .txt file

[jonzhong]

previously, i tried uploading a directory of .txt file and it was able to read the content of all the .txt file
however, out of no reason, when i try to upload another directory of .txt file, it is only able to read the file name.
what is wrong?

There are a variety of reasons for this,
Firstly ensure that your splunk has access to the directories
Secondly, go through the process one step at a time, double checking you're adding everything.

Make sure you set it up as continuous as well.

If you need further help, let me know.

Don't forget to mark this as answer if this works!

i try to delete the datas, remove the directory that i last added.
when i try to add the directory back again, somehow i am unable to view it, but when i manage inputs, it did shows that splunk has added the directory. why is this so?

[markthompson]

Did you set it up as having a specific host?
Try running index=* and see if it pops up with any of your events

[jonzhong]

i did try uploading indexes individually and there is not issue with that.

Are your events inside of that search? for * ?
If so, click on their host and it should narrow it down for you.
