Optionally filter data reported to Librato Metrics

[lmarburger]

This differs from #19 in that I have a plethora of gauges but only report on a select few. I can't use :only => [ :count ] because I don't necessarily want all counts. I would rather use :only => [ 'my_app.count', 'my_app.95th_percentile' ].

If we extended this to work with regular expressions, it could also
solve the use case of wanting to exclude all .mean metrics, for
instance.

Good idea. What do you think of this now?

Does this make sense to port to other reporters? I've only used the Librato Metrics reporter so I'm not sure of the use case for the others. If you had a Meter and were using the Logger reporter, what would you expect to pass to :except to exclude logging five_minute_rate?

I'm sorry that I'm juste asking for updates regarding this issue, I'm quite new to the project and the subject in general.

I'd be very interested in this feature. I'm sending a lot of histogram metrics to Librato but I'm using just a couple of data in each histogram. It would be less data transmitted, less billed metrics and less metrics to choose from in the Librato UI.

I've been working on an improved reporter for librato that I have here:

https://github.com/eric/metriks-librato_metrics

I haven't released a gem for it yet, so you'll have to point your Gemfile at the git repo for now. 

What is it you would like to filter? We could look at adding it to that reporter.
