AWS Glue crawler exclude patterns not working

Question

I am new to AWS and Glue and I am using AWS glue crawler to get some files under the path bucket/basefolder.
Here is the folder structure:

```
bucket/basefolder
    subfolder1
        logfolder
            log1.json
        file1.parquet
    subfolder2
        logfolder
            log2.json
        file2.parquet
        file3.parquet
```

I want to get files under the base folder and subfolders and exclude all the files under the logfolder
The Exclude patterns in the crawler setting:

```
logfolder/**
logfolder**
logfolder/*
*.json
```

But the crawler still get all the json files under the logfolder, none of the exclude pattern works. Please help.

Hello,

I've tested a crawler using the same folder structure in S3 as mentioned.

Specified include path as:
s3://bucket/basefolder/

Exclude pattern as:
``**/logfolder/**``

Using above exclude pattern ignores all files under folders named 'logfolder'.
