Hello all, I’m trying to understand filtering of databases with the entity_glob wildcards. Every example I could find shows the wildcard ( * ) with and underscore ( _ ). My main question is if placing multiple wildcards works. Here’s the best of my understanding:
-
sensor.temp*- it will filter sensors that begin with “temp” no matter what follows even if nothing follows -
sensor.*temp- it will filter sensors that end with “temp” no matter what precedes it even if nothing precedes it -
sensor.*temp*- it will filter sensors that have the word “temp” anywhere in the entity_id even if there is nothing else there, i.e. it will filter the entity “sensor.temp”
I’m trying to make sure that my filtering is working as intended but I started InfluxDB with all of the entities initially turned on so I can’t tell if it’s appropriately filtering. Does this filter below make sense? I recognize that there will be some redundancy there but as I understand it shouldn’t cause any issues, right?
Thanks for any advice.
