According to the Logstash 7.10 [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/7.10/configuration-file-structure.html#array) the Path parameter for logstash file input is an array. I tried this:

```auto
    file {
            path => ["/data/logs/testing/servers/ **/server*.log", "/data/logs/testing/servers/** /ignite.server*.log"]

```

But nothing was sent to elastic. If I try it with an individual file it works fine. Have I got the syntax correct for specifying multiple files for the path parameter?
