Hello

My question is, can we write props.conf to break events

I have written this in the following way. Can some body suggest me that whether I am going in the right direction?

[source::backlogs]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

[source::backlogs] should contain the full path to the proper log files, something like [source::/var/lib/backlogs/*.log]

thanks for your answer but please can you clarify the doubt
Does it means that the path of the directory from where the logs are being monitored??
