Hi,

I have a scenario where in the gcs bucket has multiple folders like dev and qa. Now by using logstash GCS plugin I have to read only the files from dev folder and not from qa. How is this possible?

The below config is not working..

input {  
google\_cloud\_storage {  
interval =\> 60  
bucket\_id =\> "my-logs-bucket"  
json\_key\_file =\> "/home/user/key.json"  
file\_matches =\> "dev/.\*json"  
codec =\> "json\_lines"  
}  
}

Can someone please help?  
Thanks
