This is experimental, some commands (e.g. vmstat) do not work with the
current method.
Filter
Filters may be applied on a per file base. The pattern is a regular expression.
A dot (.) stands for a single character, an asterisk (*) for no, one or more repetitions.
A carret (^) at the beginning says that the pattern must match the beginning
of the line, a trailing dollar ($) for the end of the line.
Characters may be grouped in square brackets ([ and ]) in which case one character
of the group must match.
For a complete description, see the manual page for grep(1).
Warning : The usage of filters slows down the monitoring significantly.
