 .. warning::
     This plugin needs administrator rights. Please run Glances as root/admin.
+
+Also, you can hide sensors using regular expressions.
+
+To hide sensors you should use the hide option:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+    [smart]
+    hide=.*Hide_this_driver.*
+
+It is also possible to configure a white list of devices to display.
+Example to only show .*Drive_Temperature.* sensors:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+     [fs]
+     show=.*Drive_Temperature.*
+
+Filtering is based on regular expression. Please be sure that your regular
+expression works as expected. You can use an online tool like `regex101`_ in
+order to test your regular expression.
