#### Special match groups
|
||||
|
||||
When using regex, the match group `0` is the full match and can be used to attach labels to the metric.
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
mappings:
|
||||
- match: ".+"
|
||||
match_type: regex
|
||||
name: "$0"
|
||||
labels:
|
||||
statsd_metric_name: "$0"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If a metric `my.statsd_counter` is received, the metric name will **still** be mapped to `my_statsd_counter` (Prometheus compatible name).
|
||||
But the metric will also have the label `statsd_metric_name` with the value `my.statsd_counter` (unchanged value).
|
||||
|
||||
The same is not achievable with glob matching, for more details check [this issue](https://github.com/prometheus/statsd_exporter/issues/438).
