here is my inputs.conf

[monitor://C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W3SVC2]
disabled=false
index=fam
sourcetype=ms:iis:auto

It's likely your configuration is working as expected.

./bin/splunk list monitor will still show the files as being monitored, but that doesn't indicate they will be indexed. Have you searched your indexed data to ensure the old data hasn't actually been ignored?
