How to whitelist a pattern of a file in multiple folders in AWS splunk add on

I have s3 bucket containing folders of format i-0XXXXXXXXX .
each of these folders has a log file of this pattern XXXqueriesXXX.gz.
My key prefix (The path to the i-0XXXXXX folders) looks something like this resources/logs/e-muretrsd/.

Basically, I am looking to pull logs from locations satisfying this pattern resources/logs/e-mustt/i-XXXXXXX/XXXXXXqueriesXXXXX.gz

How can I achieve this in the splunk aws addon

Hi,

Please refer below link:
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/AWS/S3
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.0.2/Admin/Inputsconf

Also in inputs.conf use whitelist parameter using regex something like this:

[input_stanza]
..
whitelist = resources\/logs\/e-mustt\/i\-.+?/.+queries.+\.gz$
