Wildcard ... not working in my stanza

[daymar_23]

Hello All: 

I have problems with my application where I am configuring the following stanza in the inputs.config file (C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\apps\ope_web_api\default): 

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/Data/Specifyinputpathswithwildcards

• [monitor://D:\package\...\version\Admin\APIS\log]
  disabled = 0
  index = ope_web_api
  sourcetype = api_logs
  ignoreOlderThan = 1d

I have Splunk Cloud 8.2.2 version. 

If I change the ... by the name of the file it works fine: 

• [monitor://D:\package\ABC\version\Admin\APIS\log]
  disabled = 0
  index = ope_web_api
  sourcetype = api_logs
  ignoreOlderThan = 1d

But I need the ... because not always is the same file name. 

Does somebody know what I am missing here? 

Regards.

Have you tried [monitor://D:\package\*\version\Admin\APIS\log]

Example from the docs Specify input paths with wildcards - Splunk Documentation

To monitor /apache/foo/logs, /apache/bar/logs, but not /apache/bar/1/logs or /apache/bar/2/logs, create the following stanza:

[monitor:///apache/*/logs]
