How to monitor file changes in Splunk?

Hi guys,

I need to monitor file changes in Splunk. I have a file that is updated constantly, and I need to know when there's a update. And if is possible, where it changed.

Any help, i'll be grateful.

Regards

There is an app for that called File/Directory Information Input. That app monitors the meta-data of the file-system and tells you when files and directories changed. It doesn't currently report on that changes within the file, just that the file changed.
