Why is a specific log file not getting forwarded when others in the same directory do?

[BT_Neophyte]

I'm having an issue where a specific log file is not forwarding, but others in the same directory and Splunk app are forwarding.

The files in question are:
server.log
server.log.0

The .0 is just where the server.log rolls over to so I don't care about forwarding that as it is just stale and duplicate data. I have created an inputs.conf file for this directory and simplified it just monitor "server*".

My issue is that server.log.0 is showing up in Splunk whereas server.log is NOT. If I change the inputs .conf to specifically look for server.log then nothing shows up in Splunk.

Both files have the same owner and read/write permissions. What could be causing this? It seems like all variables are equal but I'm getting different results.

Here is the inputs.conf file in question:
[monitor:///api/logs/server.log]
sourcetype=serverapi_logs
index=api

[monitor:///api/logs/error.log]
sourcetype=errorrapi_logs
index=api

And an ls on the directory:
error.log error.log.0 README.md server.log server.log.0

Try restarting your splunk forwarder to see if it picks up server.log. If that doesn't help, grep for server.log in $SPUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log and see if there are any errors.

Could you post your inputs.conf please?
