How to monitor logs 7 directories deep?

[ned692000]

Hi, I’m trying to monitor changing log files within directories that change regularly. These log files are 7 layers deep on a Netapp share. I’m setting up the monitor stanza in inputs.conf on a Linux box. I have tried everything but only certain directories at the 3rd layer are being monitored, but not others at that same layer, including the one I need. I’ve added recursive = true and tried all variations of syntax with no luck. All permissions are the same as directories that can be monitored. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

What does your inputs.conf stanza for the input currently look like? 

You should be able to use ellipsis (...) to look recursively:

For example:

 "..." searches recursively through one or more directories. This means that
  /foo/.../bar matches foo/1/bar, foo/1/2/bar, etc.

Whereas * does not look recursively.
