How can I prevent vnstat from monitoring virtual interfaces for example created by docker?
vnstat monitors all network interfaces, including virtual network interfaces created by docker. We run a large docker stack that creates more than 20 virtual interfaces. We don't care about the statistics for these interfaces and never want to monitor them.
More fun, the virtual interfaces can change when the docker stack is rebooted. I can go through and delete all of these interfaces, but new interfaces will return after a restart.
I would like to not have to monitor the virtual interfaces ever again.
vnstat --iflist

(Some interfaces elided.)
This is on Ubuntu 18.04.
