I'd like to selectively download StackDriver log files from google storage bucket. The bucket is created for forwarding StackDriver logs and is therefore arranged in a directory fashion i.e. `logs-bucket/cloudaudit.googleapis.com/data_access/2019/07`. I am using the [google storage input plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-google_cloud_storage.html#plugins-inputs-google_cloud_storage-file_matches). I have achieved something similar with the logstash input plugin for AWS, using the `prefix` key as described [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-s3.html#plugins-inputs-s3-prefix). Is this also possible for dowloading logs from GCS buckets? ---
