I've been using Windows Performance Monitor and Getlog.pl for quite some time now to monitor our windows servers. Well, I've finally found a snag. We need to monitor a new instance of something in performance monitor which, unfortunately, has a comma (,) in the description field of all things. (Damn you Antigen!)
Is there a way I can escape the comma on the command line of getlog so that it ignores it as a CSV field separator? For those not familiar with getlog.pl but still wish to help me out, this is a small perl script that takes a command line input of text surrounded by quotes, which it searches for at the header of a CSV file, then it scans through that file and pulls the last reading from the same column and outputs it in a format MRTG appreciates. I've since modified it a bit to get 2 readings, but essentially I'm a perl newbie and can't figure out how to make it take a comma when it relies on a comma being the end of the field! Your assistance and suggestions are sincerely appreciated!
