Splunk Light Free + Universal Forwarder: How to fix my configurations to monitor input paths with wildcards and assign proper sourcetypes?

Hello guys. I am new to Splunk. Let me introduce my problem. I have installed Splunk Light Free on the server (based on Windows Server 2012 Std, hostname: logs.xxx.com) and universal forwarder on the machine with logs (based on Windows Server 2012 Std, hostname: myapplogs.xxx.com). Machine with logs (where UF installed) have 2 folders, e.g. C:\MyApp\API C:\MyApp\Service Logs location looks like: C:\MyApp\API\Shared\log\*.log C:\MyApp\Service\Shared\log\2015-10-19\*.log where `2015-10-19` - today date. New folder is created everyday. How can I monitor these two paths with wildcards and send logs from there to: logs.xxx.com:9990 - for API logs logs.xxx.com: 9991- for Service logs I wrote some configs: Splunk inputs.conf: [splunktcp://9990] index = myapp sourcetype = myapp_api [splunktcp://9991] index = myapp sourcetype = myapp_service UF inputs.conf: [monitor://C:\\MyApp\\API\\Shared\\log\\*.log] _TCP_ROUTING = MyApp_API disabled = false index = myapp sourcetype = myapp_api [monitor://C:\\MyApp\\Service\\Shared\\log\\...\\*.log] _TCP_ROUTING = MyApp_Service disabled = false index = myapp sourcetype = myapp_service UF outputs.conf: [tcpout:MyApp_API] server = logs.xxx.com:9990 useACK = true [tcpout:MyApp_Service] server = logs.xxx.com:9991 useACK = true But this configuration did not work properly. My folders are not monitored correctly. Instead, Splunk monitors folder, e.g. `C:\MyApp\Api\Builds` And in Splunk, sourcetypes are not assigned properly. Instead of `myapp_api`, I have `sourcetype=2015-10-19`. Please help me to fix configs. I am a newbie in Splunk.
