How to blacklist a set hosts using segment

Hi,

I have an inputs.conf that seems to be ignoring the host entries that I've entered. Am I missing something?

`[monitor:///data/syslog-ng/logs/unknown/.../*.log]
host_segment = 5
disabled = false
index = unknown
sourcetype = unknown_syslog
blacklist=(1.2.3.4|4.5.6.7|6.7.8.9|127.0.0.1)

Think I have it...

[monitor:///data/syslog-ng/logs/unknown/.../]
whitelist = \.log
host_segment = 5
disabled = false
index = unknown
sourcetype = unknown_syslog
blacklist=(1.2.3.4\/*.log|4.5.6.7\/*.log|6.7.8.9\/*.log|127.0.0.1\/*.log)
