+ It is possible to use regular expressions to match interface names, if the
+ name is surrounded by I</.../> and collectd was compiled with support for
+ regexps. This is useful if there's a need to collect (or ignore) data
+ for a group of interfaces that are similarly named, without the need to
+ explicitly list all of them (especially useful if the list is dynamic).
+ Example:
+ 
+  Interface "lo"
+  Interface "/^veth/"
+  Interface "/^tun[0-9]+/"
+  IgnoreSelected "true"
+ 
+ This will ignore the loopback interface, all interfaces with names starting
+ with I<veth> and all interfaces with names starting with I<tun> followed by
+ at least one digit.

 +Interface name is not unique on Solaris (KSTAT), interface name is unique 
 +only within a module/instance. Following tuple is considered unique: 
 +   (ks_module, ks_instance, ks_name)
 +If this option is set to true, interface name contains above three fields
 +separated by an underscore. For more info on KSTAT, visit
