 * `-listing` - Comma-separated list of services to be listed and further passed on for importing. For each service specified, the exporter performs a listing of available resources using the `List` function and emits them for importing together with their dependencies. The `-services` parameter could be used to control which transitive dependencies will be also imported.
 * `-services` - Comma-separated list of services to import. By default, all services are imported.
 * `-match` - Match resource names during listing operation. This filter applies to all resources that are getting listed, so if you want to import all dependencies of just one cluster, specify `-match=autoscaling -listing=compute`. By default, it is empty, which matches everything.
+* `-matchRegex` - Match resource names against a given regex during listing operation. Applicable to all resources selected for listing.
+* `-excludeRegex` - Exclude resource names matching a given regex. Applied during the listing operation and has higher priority than `-match` and `-matchRegex`.  Applicable to all resources selected for listing.  Could be used to exclude things like `databricks_automl` notebooks, etc.  
 * `-mounts` - List DBFS mount points, an extremely slow operation that would not trigger unless explicitly specified.
 * `-generateProviderDeclaration` - the flag that toggles the generation of `databricks.tf` file with the declaration of the Databricks Terraform provider that is necessary for Terraform versions since Terraform 0.13 (disabled by default).
 * `-prefix` - optional prefix that will be added to the name of all exported resources - that's useful for exporting resources from multiple workspaces for merging into a single one.
