Irq Irq

Select this irq. By default these irqs will then be collected. For a more detailed description see IgnoreSelected below.

See /"IGNORELISTS" for details.

IgnoreSelected true|false
If no configuration if given, the irq-plugin will collect data from all irqs. This may not be practical, especially if no interrupts happen. Thus, you can use the Irq-option to pick the interrupt you're interested in. Sometimes, however, it's easier/preferred to collect all interrupts except a few ones. This option enables you to do that: By setting IgnoreSelected to true the effect of Irq is inverted: All selected interrupts are ignored and all other interrupts are collected.
