# Filtering filesystem metrics

Configure your engine to exclude metrics for given filesystems such as a virtual or a pseudo filesystem.

## Before you begin

* Talend Remote Engine version must be 2.12.4 and onwards.

  For earlier versions, metrics of all types of filesystems are collected. Filtering is not possible.

## About this task

Do the following to specify the filesystems for which you need metrics.

## Procedure

1. Stop the engine.
2. Open the <RemoteEngineInstallationDirectory>/etc/org.talend.observability.collector.oshi.cfg file to edit it.
3. Find the file.system.stores.exclusion parameter and add the filesystem names to be excluded from metrics collection.
   ### Example
   ```
   file.system.stores.exclusion=devfs,configfs,qwerty
   ```

   Note that the label field in the metrics of a filesystem contains the label you assigned to your filesystem, depending on how this is allowed by your OS; it is empty if no label has been assigned and does not impact the metrics.
4. Save the file.
5. Restart the engine.
