Hello I have the below location to be monitored in a windows machine

D:\Tab\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\logs\appzookeeper\xyz.log
D:\Tab\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\logs\appzookeeper\abclog.2019-02-17

D:\Tab\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\logs\backgrounder\xyz.log
D:\Tab\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\logs\backgrounder\abclog.2019-02-17

This is the monitoring stanza I am assuming is correct which will take all folders log files like appzookeeper,backgrounder,terniation etc

[monitor://D:\Tab\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\logs.*]

Thanks in advance

That monitor stanza will look for files in the tabsvc directory with base name of 'logs' with any extension. It doesn't match your sample file names.

Try this:

[monitor://D:\Tab\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\logs\*\*log*]
