you don't say what version you are running, the most current docs are at: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/modules/imfile.html
I'm not sure exactly when wildcards became supported, but I believe it was well into the 8.x series.

I have many files in a directory and want to monitor them all with a wildcard. I have a configuration like below: $ModLoad imfile $InputFilePollInterval 10 $PrivDropToGroup adm $WorkDirectory /var/spool/rsyslog # Input for FILE1 $InputFileName /FILE1 $InputFileTag APPNAME1 $InputFileStateFile stat-APPNAME1 #this must be unique for each file being polled $InputFileSeverity info $InputFilePersistStateInterval 20000 $InputRunFileMonitor # Add a tag for file events $template LogglyFormatFile,"<%pri%>%protocol-version% %timestamp:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %app-name% %procid% %msgid% [TOKEN@41058 tag=\"file\"] %msg%\n" # Send to Loggly then discard if $programname == 'APPNAME1' then @@logs-01.loggly.com:514;LogglyFormatFile if $programname == 'APPNAME1' then ~ What I want is to use wildcard as $InputFileName /directory/*.txt or $InputFileName /directory/* Please consider my case on priority.
