How to configure fschange Windows file monitoring, but exclude a sub-folder using blacklist?

I'm trying to monitor file changes within a specific location on a production server's d:\ drive (d:\filestomonitor), but want to exclude a sub-folder, 'Logs', within it (d:\filestomonitor\Logs). I'm using the following expression:

[filter:blacklist:Logs-blacklist]
regex1 = D:\filestomonitor\.*\Logs\

[fschange:D:\filestomonitor\*]
index=_audit
recurse = true 
followLinks = false 
signedaudit = false 
fullEvent = true 
sendEventMaxSize = 1048576 
delayInMills = 1000 
filters = configs,Logs-blacklist

Could somebody please help provide me with the correct syntax?

Appreciate your help!
