How do I have Disk_* metrics ignore some filesystem types or mount points?

It doesn't seem like Sumologic is able to distinguish between say procfs, and ext4 when gathering metrics.  All the non-disk based filesystems show up as 100% full in the Disk_Available/Disk_Used metrics.  In nagios and prometheus it's trivially easy to provide a list of filesystem types to ignore.  How do I do that in Sumologic?

  Hi Alex, assuming you are collecting these using the host metrics source type (and not via graphite), the dimensions for metrics are DevName and DirName. DevName should be what you are looking for here to exclude some types, DirName can be used to monitor certain directories/partitions.

   

  Thanks
