Welcome! 😃

Yes, you can use path globbing to handle that - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-log.html#input-paths](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-log.html#input-paths)

What if you used `20*/*/*`, so it'd match `2020` etc?
