Getting Data In

Why is my Remote File & Directory input not automatically inputting data?

I currently have a Remote File & Directory Data Input on the following log
'C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager%4Operational.evtx'

If I disable and enable the Data Input, it will import the log data. If I then go and make events within the log, it does not automatically import in to Splunk. However, if i go back and disable and enable the Data Input, it will import the backlog of events perfectly. Is there any way to automate this?
