I want to monitor a directory that resides on another machine which has a Splunk forwarder on it. There is one specific directory which needs to be monitored and I cannot find the proper documentation which points me towards it. Can someone please tell me how to do this via the GUI and the config files?
The easiest way, simply add your directory you'd like to monitor on your forwarder through the gui prior to enabling it as a forwarder.
If you've already done set the machine as a forwarder, simply follow the cli instructions for adding an input. Below is the link to the page in the documentation you're looking for:
