What should be the working regex to exclude the 30s filebeat status updates  
The 30s status starts with, (but are quite a bit longer) :

```auto
2021-01-26T05:29:10.562-0500#011INFO#011[monitoring]#011log/log.go:145#011Non-zero metrics

```

I tried to no succes several regex patterns

```auto
exclude_lines: [`.*log/log\.go:145#011Non-zero metrics.*`] 

```
