inputs.conf stanza to monitor only current data after changes are pushed to production (ignoring historical data)?

Hi All, I want to ingest the log files from an application server directory using universal forwarder. Log file names are in below pattern ABC.%d-01-2017.log Examples: ABC.09-01-2017.log ABC.09-02-2017.log ABC.09-03-2017.log ABC.09-04-2017.log What should be the stanza in the inputs.conf on my forwarder such that i only monitor and ingest today's file. Also i have lot of old files in the same path,i want to start ingesting the files from the day i push the changes to production[not interested in historical]. Can you please let me know how to go about this without using "ignoreOlderThan" feature. I did look at this , wondering if there is any other way -->https://answers.splunk.com/answers/206950/how-to-configure-inputsconf-on-a-universal-forward.html?utm_source=typeahead&utm_medium=newquestion&utm_campaign=no_votes_sort_relev Thank you in advance!!
