How do I specify which sources should be indexed from data inputs and not the entire directory?

Hello, Please bear with me because I'm new to Splunk and I've only just started using it today. Also note that I am currently running their trial and have not purchased anything yet. I am looking to index the Application logs from our PeopleSoft server, which are stored as `APPSRV_*.LOG` on the PeopleSoft server. A new log file is created for each day and the format is `APPSRV_MMDD.LOG`. Within the directory that the APPSRV logs are stored are other files that are of no interest to me at the moment. I currently have my data input setup as a UNC path to the directory, but I don't know how to only allow indexing on the `APPSRV_MMDD.LOG`s and not the others. Is there a way to index only certain file names by using a wildcard and not others, or must I index the entire directory? Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Robert
