The veth* network interfaces created for docker containers are now excluded by the linux agent in all cases. The interface names have no direct match with the docker container name or ID. They seem to have some kind of random nature.
These container specific interfaces are not relevant to be monitored on the node. We are monitoring the docker network interfaces in the container.
