Trying to create a bar chart and would like to exclude three terms. Under advanced, there's the exclude section but I can't seem to figure out the syntax for it to treat the three terms as separate values. What's the proper syntax?

Hi Walker,

You can use regular expression syntax with the or operator like `load|cpu` to exclude both of those terms.
