Why isn't ancient entry ignored despite `ignoreOlderThan` config in inputs.conf ?

Hello. We have a pesky entry from 80+ days ago that keeps appearing in our search results. We added the `ignoreOlderThan` setting to the `$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\system\local\inputs.conf` file, but the old entry continues to appear in the search results. The stanza from the `inputs.conf` looks like this [monitor://c:\Program Files\Microsoft\device\logs\*\MSDevice_MSCP*.txt] disabled = false sourcetype = MSDevice_MSCP-MS ignoreOlderThan = 2d For good measure, we also changed the `inputs.conf` file in the app's directory, to look like this: [monitor://C:\Program Files\Microsoft\device\] disabled = false host = bes12 ignoreOlderThan = 48h And the entry continues to get picked up. Is there any other way I can get Splunk to ignore this (and any other older) entry? Is there another inputs.conf file that has higher precedence? Should we double up on the backslashes in the `.conf` files? Thanks for your insights!
