**Note**:
- The Agent requires read and execute permissions on a directory to list all the available files in it.
- The path and exclude_paths values are case sensitive.
- Starting in Agent version 7.76.0, recursive globs (`**`) are supported in `path` and `exclude_paths` when you set `logs_config.enable_recursive_glob: true` in `datadog.yaml`. This is disabled by default.
