Wildcard search on metrics filter #137

Open wingZero21 opened 10 years ago

Hi,

This might exist however not sure what it is. But would be handy if you could wildcard the entry on part of the filter (IE serverstats.server00*.graphitemetrics) so it only shows results on that level.

You can, but it's not at all intuitive nor documented. Try adding a dot in front of the asterisk. This is definitely an area that needs improvement.

Hi,

Yeah that works pretty much. However does not seem to let you go further down the metrics view.

So for example I could have servermetrics.server0*.

which works, but if I wanted to do servermetrics.server0*.particularmetrichere

It does not seem to like it, is there anyway to get round that?

Cheers Mark

Actually doing * . * (without the spaces) seems to work for doing the second query.
