Inputs.conf whitelist syntax assistance

I have several virtual hosts under /opt/log/

/opt/log/webA

/opt/log/webB

/opt/log/webC

They all have denied.log that I need to index, would this be correct inputs.conf?

[monitor:///opt/log/www*]

sourcetype = apache

index=www

host_segment=3

whitelist = denied\.log$

[monitor:///opt/log/*]

index=web

host_segment=3

sourcetype = apache

index=www
whitelist = access.log$
