facts-blocklist doesn't work as expected with modern facts (hash structure). #3975
Description
Describe the Bug
I'm trying to reduce database size and not to store facts which are not needed in puppetdb. For example - info in networking.interfaces for dynamic/virtual links (calico, veth, docker etc). Currently it's impossible to block it with current filters.
I have in config for example:
facts-blocklist-type = regex
facts-blocklist = networking.interfaces.cali.*, networking.interfaces.veth.*, networking.interfaces.docker.*, networking.interfaces.macvtap.*, networking.interfaces.vnet.*, networking.interfaces.tunl.*
But this facts are still present in puppetdb. I've explained a little bit more in puppetlabs/facter#2713
Expected Behavior
I would like to have possibility to exclude storage some facts in puppetdb with modern structure (Hash) with regex support.
Environment
