How can I filter out all veth* interfaces. #112

Open soichih opened 5 years ago

soichih commented 5 years ago

Is there a way to hide interfaces that starts with "veth"? My graphite DB is filling up with tons of metrics from this plugin, and I'd like to filter them out if possible.

Until this issue is resolved you can do following 1) add following line

^PREFIX\..*\.if\.veth.*

into /etc/carbon/blacklist.conf

2) add

USE_WHITELIST = true

into /etc/carbon/carbon.conf

3) restart carbon
