Recursive file paths in Auditbeat

[xlammertink]

Hi everyone,

I was testing out Auditbeats and I have to say that I really like the product. However, there is one major feature that I'm missing: recursive file paths.

I would like to use Auditbeat to track all file changes on a directory, and that includes the changes in sub-directories as well. I definitively think that I'm not the only one, so I would like to have this feature implemented.

The way I see it it would work like this:

• One could set the file.paths.include parameters to monitor a path including its sub-directories
• And to exlude certain subdirectories one could set the file.paths.exclude parameter

I have placed a discussion here already: https://discuss.elastic.co/t/recursive-file-paths/101155.

I think this issue is a duplicate of #5421. You opened this first but #5421 has more details.
Are you ok with closing this and sticking to #5421 ?
