Explanation

The tailing_processor.log file would be the best place to search if you suspect there is a problem interpreting a regular expression in a monitor stanza. This log file contains information about how Splunk monitors files and directories, including any errors or warnings related to parsing the monitor stanza. The splunkd.log file contains general information about the Splunk daemon, but it may not have the specific details about the monitor stanza. The btool.log file contains information about the configuration files, but it does not log the runtime behavior of the monitor stanza. The metrics.log file contains information about the performance metrics of Splunk, but it does not log the event breaking issues.
