title: Stackdriver advanced filter query without wildcards
body: <p>I have logs being sent in JSON format to Stackdriver, each which contains an entry like:</p>
  
  <p><code>name: pipeline.&lt;application&gt;.process</code></p>
  
  <p>where <code>&lt;application&gt;</code> is a variable length string that represents various components in our system.</p>
  
  <p>I would like a query to get all such logs, however, don't know how to do so given that stackdriver doesn't support wildcards or regex.</p>
  
  <p>Ideally, something like a <code>pipeline.*.process</code> would be great, but I can't figure it out from the docs. Equally, <code>&lt;application&gt;</code> takes >40 forms, and so I don't want to create a custom metric for every one.</p>
