Yes, you can use the same way usable for monitoring single folder (your parent folder), but set the flag "recursive". In such a way all changes related to the pointed folder (the parent one) and all nested subfolder will be monitored.

Hope this clarifies matter.

@mansi2821 Yes, as Здравко said, you can access subfolders just like parent folders, such as by using the 'recursive=true' option on /2/files/list_folder.
