How do I ingest logs that have two dots in their name

I have a new client that has files named as follows: xxxx.xxxx.log Splunk is not ingesting them. How can I ingest logs that have that type of naming convention. I believe splunk is only looking at the xxx.xxx and can't match it to the /*.log stanza I have in the inputs.conf.

I did put ..log, but it still doesn't seem to be picking up the files.
