How to blacklist inputs.conf with multiple files or folders?

Hello,

Below is the existing stanza in the inputs.conf

[monitor:///var/log]
whitelist=(\.log|log$|messages|secure|auth|mesg$|cron$|acpid$|\.out)
blacklist=(lastlog|anaconda\.syslog)
disabled = 1

I also want to add the following folder to be blacklist

/var/log/dynatrace and any logs within the folder/sub folders.

Can you please explain how this can be done?

Is the syntax below correct?

blacklist=(lastlog|anaconda\.syslog)|(dynatrace)

Appreciate your experience and help.
