remote_write drop all metrics except x

[ryan woods]

Hey guys,

Trying to drop all metrics except a select few at time of writing to remote storage, the config I'm using to do so is the below:

      remoteWrite:

        - url: 'http://prometheus-adapter.monitoring.svc.cluster.local:9201/write'

          write_relabel_configs:

            - source_labels: [__name__]

              regex: 'ceph.*'

              action: keep

            - source_labels: [__name__]

              regex: 'pg_.*'

              action: keep

            - source_labels: [__name__]

              regex: 'node.*'

              action: keep

            - source_labels: [__name__]

              regex: '.*'

              action: drop

As you can see from the above I'd like to keep all metrics matching 'ceph.*', 'pg_.*' & 'node.*' and drop everything else; except this doesn't seem to be working as it's dropping all metrics

- source_labels: [__name__]

regex: 'ceph.*|pg_.*'|node.*'
action: keep

That should be enough.

Thanks I’ll give that a try. So out of curiosity why wouldn’t my config before work?

Relabeling rules don't stop at the first match - they are all executed.
