Description
Currently, the docker source supports a limited subset of filters to filter the list of running containers on. We should add support for more to allow users provide more flexible filters.
- Include container image name
- Exclude container id
- Exclude container label
- Exclude container image name

Research direction
Start at the docker source's existing container-filter handling and trace how the supported image-name and container-ID filters are implemented. Add the two unchecked exclusions—container labels and image names—and consider the work complete when both filters behave consistently with the existing ones.
