Description

See https://answers.splunk.com/answers/522283/website-monitoring-why-are-newly-added-urls-trigge.html#answer-523882

I should consider:

  • Including better messaging (perhaps with a help URL)
  • Determining if directory creation should be done differently to increase reliability
  • Pre-checking the directory permissions before running the input
