[collectd] collect Snmp exclude

[Domagoj Mikac]

The following Chain is supposed to filter out all Loopback interfaces
while all others are forwarded to rrdtool plugin.
Unfortunately, I am doing something wrong, and cannot figure out where
is the problem. 
Please help. 

<Chain "Main">
        <Rule "ignore_Loopback">
                <Match "regex">
                        Plugininstance "^snmp$"
                        TypeInstance "Loopback"
                </Match>
                Target "stop"
        </Rule>
        

        #################################################3
        # default target
        <Target "write">
                 Plugin "rrdtool"
        </Target>
</Chain>
