I'm going to tie a few questions into 1 as they all relate to crcSalt!
The doco says "copy stanza from default to local".
My problem is that with a GUI built forwarder reading a windows folder and sub folders - I can't see a specific monitor stanza that I am editing.
Do I
a: Just put a stanza [MONITOR] into the local inputs.conf with the crcSalt=
b: Try to find out what the actual [MONITOR] stanza should be and re-create that in the local inputs.conf?
The same file system includes logs that role over - how do I make sure that the crcSalt implementation doesn't force re-reading of those files? I understand that "source" will force resalting of every file - how do I make it:
a: Salt the files I want; and
b: not Salt rolling log files?
Thanks in advance

hi StevenClarke
why do you want to use crcSalt? usually one just set it up if there are problems for example with 'file to small' messages.

That's just it MuS - I'm getting the file too small errors and more importantly similar config files in subdirectories not being indexed due crc error (looks the same).
