Hi All,

As I understood from the documentation, I can specify the file pattern which 
will be ignored by the flume agent. But when I tried it then I found that I can 
specify only one file pattern which will be ignored. How can I specify the 
value so that multiple files can be ignore by agent. For example,
I have a spool directory in which I have 3 different log files
log1.log
filedata.log
file_post_data.log
Now I need to configure the agent source in such a way that it just reads the 
file log1.log and ignore filedata.log and file_post_data.log. So how do I 
specify this using 
agent1.sources.source1.ignorePattern=
Please help me if I am missing on the correct regex for this. Is it a bug? 
I tried using the following pattern but it does not work
Try 1
^(filedata*\.log|file_post*\.log)

Try 2
^(filedata*\.log)|^(file_post*\.log)

In both the above approaches only the first file is ignored and not the second 
one. Second one is processed by flume. I want both of these files to be ignored 
by flume. 
Thanks.
