Yes. groupexpire is what you want, and expire is the default for groups
that aren't matched by any groupexpire statement.

say:

expire = 21
groupexpire high.traffic.group = 10

Groupexpire accepts glob patterns (that is ? for one character, * for
any, possibly null, sequence of characters, [characterclass]), see
man 7 glob
for details.

Note: this is leafnode-1 syntax.

leafnode-2 uses a different syntax ("=" sign right after groupexpire)
