Sorry for the expiration, I've been on hiatus for a couple weeks.
Graphite doesn't use regexes actually it uses filesystem globs because
that's used to locate the database files. Once it's found the metrics
though you can apply the exclude() function to trim down the dataset,
and it happens to take regex patterns as input. So if your pattern foo.*
matches stuff you don't care about (say, metrics about a bar) then you
could get what you want by saying target=exclude(foo.*,"bar"). Where bar
can be any regex supported by the python's standard library 're' module.
