 The discovered addresses can be filtered with optional `-storageNode.filter` command-line flag, which can contain arbitrary regular expression filter.
 For example, `-storageNode.filter='^[^:]+:8400$'` would leave discovered addresses ending with `8400` port only, e.g. the default port used
 for sending data from `vminsert` to `vmstorage` node according to `-vminsertAddr` command-line flag.
 
-The discovered `vmstorage` nodes list refreshes with the interval, which can be specified via `-storageNode.discoveryInterval` command-line flag.
-
 The currently discovered `vmstorage` nodes can be [monitored](#monitoring) with `vm_rpc_vmstorage_is_reachable` and `vm_rpc_vmstorage_is_read_only` metrics.
