As one of the options you can define Blacklist in your inputs.conf for the monitor data input you currently have.

[monitor://<YourFolderStructure>\enva*\logs\*]
    blacklist = <YourFolderStructure>\enva1\logs\*

For information on Blacklisting refer to following documentation: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/Whitelistorblacklistspecificincomingdata#Bl...
