[stasos24]

Description

Run tracee with flag

--events '-net_*'

That's correct.
Exclusion with wildcards doesn't work, and I don't think we should invest implementing it now since we're going to make changes in tracee architecture (e.g. introducing traceectl)

I mentioned this because i had found info in documentation:

To exclude events prefixed by "open" or "dup", use the following flag:

--events '-open*,-dup*'

Thanks for the pointer to the documentation!
We should fix it there indeed
