There's two meaning of wildcards in paths for file collections.
*
is a simple, non-recursive wildcard representing zero or more characters which you can use for paths and file names.**
is a recursive wildcard which can only be used with paths, not file names.
For examples,
/var/log/**
will match all files in/var/log
and all files in all child directories, recursively./var/log/**/*.log
will match all files whose names end in.log
in/var/log
and all files in all child directories, recursively./home/*/.bashrc
will match all.bashrc
files in all user'shome
directories./home/*/.ssh/**/*.key
will match all files ending in.key
in all user's.ssh
directories in all user'shome
directories.

Oh, I see. It doesn't seem to be supported by sumologic.
(I'll also fix the text. Thank you for your correction.)
As you said in the above case, I think we should consider reducing the dynamic depth on the structure level or distributing the collector to the per dynamic depth.
This way could also reduces the searching load, so I think it would be better to consider it as an alternative.
