What is the correct syntax to have fschange search multiple directories?

Will the following work:

[fschange:C:\Program Files\progam|D:\File\group]

Should replace "|" with "OR",or should i use "&" or "AND". I am trying to monitor file changes to multiple directories using a single fschange statement. I would prefer to not use multiple fschange statements requiring changes to the same attributes for each fschange. If boolean logic cannot be used, is there a way to use a function to define the attributes for fschange?

I am sorry, but I dont believe Splunks allows you to perform boolean logic. If you like to use a single fschange entry will most likely have to use File system monitoring filters.


[fschange:/etc]
filters = nothis,dothis
[filter:blacklist:nothis]
regex1 = .*bak
regex2 = .*bk
[filter:whitelist:dothis]
regex1 = .\.c
regex2 = .
\.h
