Filter

Filter the metrics that are recorded to reduce the database size and capture overheads.

The default mode of operation is to record all system values that are number or boolean format.

When enabled, patterns (Regular expressions) can be added to the "pattern list", one per line.

For the simple case, names can be cut/pasted from the "All sources" list. A more complex example might be:

network/.*/[rt]x-(bytes|packets)

to capture all network RX/TX counters.

As patterns are added the resulting list of metrics that will be stored for graphing are displayed in the "Matched sources" list.
