Here is the section in my inputs.conf.
It deals with dynamically folder name, the ... could be the folder number name such as 334, the next build it will be 335, etc.
but I want to exclude other folders that fall into the ...
They are
C:\JENKINS\jobs\Smoke_Test\builds\lastUnsuccessfulBuild\log
C:\JENKINS\jobs\Smoke_Test\builds\lastsuccessfulBuild\log
C:\JENKINS\jobs\Smoke_Test\builds\lastStableBuild\log

I tried to modify the _blacklist but couldn't get it work.
Any help?

[monitor://C:\JENKINS\jobs\Smoke_Test\builds...\log]
disabled = false
sourcetype = gatling_log
_blacklist = .(gz)$
index=os

_balcklist is a deprecated command, so try using blacklist instead. In fact if you are aware of all accpeted file type you should define the whitelist instead of blacklist.

In your example please try the following instead:

blacklist = \.txt$
