Hello,

How would I initialize monitor command to pull the data/files from variable paths /locations? Some examples along with monitor command provided below:

Paths/Locations:

/RTAM/PROD_LOGS/PROD_DATA/2021-01-28_03-39-15/AUDITDATA/APPS/AUDITPROD.txt

/RTAM/PROD_LOGS/PROD_DATA/2021-01-29_09-12-12/AUDITDATA/APPS/AUDITPROD.txt

.........

..........

.........

/RTAM/PROD_LOGS/PROD_DATA/2021-02-02_06-19-10/AUDITDATA/APPS/AUDITPROD.txt

/RTAM/PROD_LOGS/PROD_DATA/2021-02-02_08-07-14/AUDITDATA/APPS/AUDITPROD.txt

Monitor Command I wrote:

[monitor://

/RTAM/PROD_LOGS/PROD_DATA/.../AUDITDATA/APPS/AUDITPROD.txt]

is this going to work to pull the data/files from all of the locations mentioned above? Any help/feedback will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
