Hi @Seetharaman_K,

When adding windows paths to the configuration take into account that the backslash is used as escape character, so you need to put two of them (like c:\\programdata\\elasticsearch\\logs\\*).

Or, more conveniently, quote these paths using single quotes, like:

paths:
- 'C:\Users\G703065\AppData\Local\UiPath\Logs'
- 'c:\programdata\elasticsearch\logs\*'
