Filter AWS Services

Hello,

At the moment, the documentation for adding an AWS Datasource almost seems to imply that you can filter any type of service (be it EC2, S3, SQS etc) by name using the tag name/value system, but in actuality, only filters things that literally support the tag feature.

I'm asking for a simple addition to the AWS Datasource so that you can filter, for example, SQS by some regex, e.g.:

regex name = foo, regex value = *foo*

Thereby causing the autodiscovery to only show *foo* SQS queues.

This is a bit of deal breaker for people who have many SQS queues, but where some of them are just test queues which don't need to be monitored.

Thanks.

    Sounds reasonable!  We will look into adding filtering options for AWS services that don't support tags.

    I would be interested in a filter that is the opposite of the behavior of the current filter.  The current filter lets you use a tag to decide what should be monitored, but it would be useful to have the ability to specific tags for resources that should not be monitored.  An "all in" approach is fine with me; that you choose if your filter specified is about matching or excluding and go from there.  Of course, this should also apply to Azure also.

    @S P That is in the works :)/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20"> We're adding a "filter operation" to the tag filters that will allow you to make them behave as include or exclude filters.
