# This file takes a single regular expression per line
# If USE_WHITELIST is set to True in carbon.conf, any metrics received which

# Reject metrics with multiple or surrounding dots, since they lead to
# counter intuitive behavior when read (they can be read from disk but not
# from carbon-cache, at least with whisper data back-end)
