How to blacklist the .gz files in input.conf?

Hi Folks,

I am trying to backlist the gz files in input.conf. But somehow the blacklist doesn't work properly.

Files to blacklist:

I tried this.

[monitor:///var/log/*

crcSalt=<SOURCE>

blacklist1=\.gz$

But this did not work for some of the files that is mentioned above.

Please help with the correct way to blacklist the .gz file.

The way I read the manual, the blacklist1 setting is only for WinEventLog inputs. Use blacklist (without a digit) for monitor inputs.

[monitor:///var/log/*] crcSalt = <SOURCE> blacklist = \.gz$

I did the same as suggested but didnot work.

Thanks

Did this ever get resolved? I applied blacklist = \.gz$ and it is not working for me.
