Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read and some people may not be even able to see them

Please also format your code/logs/config using the </> button, or markdown style back ticks. It helps to make things easy to read which helps us help you

the "exclude files" option will accept path with wildcard ?

eg. '/opt/apps/logs/*/weblogic/ *.log'
