Deep glob not finding files

[yaauie]

Moved from elastic/logstash#10800

• Version: 7.0.1
• Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
• Config File (if you have sensitive info, please remove it):

input {
    file {
        id => "perfmon-in"
        path => "/data/tracelogger/tracelogger_data/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/PerfMon*"
        sincedb_path => "/data/elk/logstash/sincedb"
        start_position => "beginning"
        tags => ["perfmon"]
    }
}

filter {
  csv {
    id => "perfmon-filter"
    autodetect_column_names => "true"
    convert => {
      "column1" => "date_time"
    }
  }
}

output {
    if "perfmon" in [tags]{

      elasticsearch
      {
    hosts => "${ELASTICSEARCH_HOST}:${ELASTICSEARCH_PORT}"
    manage_template => false
    index => "perfmon-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
    id => "perfmon-out"
      }
      stdout { codec => rubydebug }
    }
}

• Sample Data:

Doesn't even find the file when trace debugs are on.

• Steps to Reproduce:

I've tried with this path:

path => "/data/tracelogger/tracelogger_data/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/PerfMon*"

and it doesn't work, and it also doesn't work like this:

path => "/data/tracelogger/tracelogger_data/**/PerfMon*"

But it does work like this (fully described).

path => "/data/tracelogger/tracelogger_data/processed/AP4/10.66.132.23/2019-05-17_20-21-30/cm/log/ris/csv/PerfMon*"

Comment on original issue:

Same issue. Working with logstash "7.1.1".

My configs have many subdirectories, but I get a silent fail on "/some/path/**/*.txt"
