How to filter out any directory starts out with "."

[vincenty]

I am monitoring a series of directories. I want to blacklist any (sub)directories that is starting with a ".".

i.e.
/home/logs/dir1/dir2/.zfs/...
/home/logs/dir1/dir2/dir3/.snapshot/...

I can't seem to get a blacklist regex working for "any directory starting with a ."

[monitor:///home/logs/dir1/]
blacklist = \/.*

/.* would match any character, 0 or more times. This would match all your files/dirs most likely.

Try /\.[^/]+/

Should mean 'slash, literal dot, not-slash (1 or more), slash'

Blacklists and whitelists use perl compatible regular expressions (PCRE) so you need to change the blacklist. Replace . with \. and * with .*

try

blacklist = /\..*
