How do you configure whilelist or blacklist metrics? From the documentation: http://readthedocs.org/docs/graphite/en/latest/config-carbon.html my understanding is

1) in carbon.conf

USE_WHITELIST = True
WHITELISTS_DIR = /opt/graphite/storage/lists/

2) put a file in WHITELISTS_DIR with the regex line you want to use. Does the file have to be a specific name, i.e. whitelist.conf?

carbon-cache still writes out the whisper files after completing steps 1 and 2.

Also, how do you configure the blacklist file? Do I have to use regular expressions to match a string not containing a word?
