Description
The jenkins analysis task is being fixed in #399, but the fix is kind of ugly because it requires traversing the entire filesystem in order to extract the right files. We should find a better solution and/or fix the upstream file globbing in Plaso (either the filter file syntax or the artifacts syntax).
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the Jenkins analysis task and the fix referenced in issue #399. Investigate how Plaso file globbing handles its filter-file and artifacts syntax, then compare that with the current full-filesystem traversal. Done means artifact extraction avoids the broad traversal while still selecting the required files.
