Expand documentation of mapping
Breakout from #80:
- Provide examples using regex not just glob in the documentation
- Provide an example using a catch-all regex for metrics not matching an existing regex.
- Explain the difference between using the configuration for dropping all non match metrics versus using a catch all regex to provide an indication that metrics are not matching and would have been dropped.
The mapping is closely related to that of the statsd exporter – the main difference is that all Graphite metrics are considered a gauge.
Maybe it makes sense to have a unified mapping documentation, but for now, the statsd exporter readme can serve as an inspiration for this one.
