How can I blacklist logs from a source?

Path Finder

We are monitoring logs from the below path

[monitor:///opt/IBMHTTPD85/IHS/.../*]

I want to blacklist all logs from source,

source="/opt/IBMHTTPD85/IHS/logsPRD2/wm_ssl_access_log"

How can I achieve this in the inputs.conf file?

Add -

blacklist = (^/opt/IBMHTTPD85/IHS/logsPRD2/wm_ssl_access_log$)

Can I directly write the path instead of using regular expressions under blacklist?

This did not work, I am still seeing the logs from the source.

Any other suggestions?
