Hello,

Is it possible to have multiple data categories and data points in a 
"Generic Program with Data" probe similar to the built in "Linux: TCP 
Connections by State" ?

For example:

I wrote the following perl script to extract read IO/s from monitored 
hosts into data points:

--SNIP--

#!/usr/bin/perl

open(IOSTAT,"-|","/usr/bin/iostat -xtd sda 15 2") or die;
@collect = <IOSTAT>;
close IOSTAT;

@collect = grep {!/^$/} @collect;
@data = split(/\s+/,$collect[-1]);
$read_ops = $data[3];

print "<perldata> <hash> <item key=\"data\">$read_ops</item> <item 
key=\"Read Ops\"> </item> </hash> </perldata>";

--SNIP--

Converted here into a "Generic Program with Data" probe (1 liner)

--SNIP--

/usr/bin/perl -e 'open(IOSTAT,"-|","/usr/bin/iostat -xtd sda 15 2") or 
die;@collect = <IOSTAT>;close IOSTAT;@colle
ct = grep {!/^$/} @collect;@data = split(/\s+/,$collect[-1]);$read_ops = 
$data[3];print "<perldata> <hash> <item k
ey=\"data\">$read_ops</item> <item key=\"Read Ops\"> </item> </hash> 
</perldata>";'

--SNIP--


What I would like to do is create more data points out of different 
streams of data from the -1- probe.

In my script the iostat output captured in @data has read io/s as element 
[3], while write io/s are captured in element [4] (etc).

Going back to my reference to the Linux: TCP connections by State probe; 
in that you can specify multiple data point sources: eg, ESTABLISHED, 
TIME_WAIT, SYN_RECV etc. 

This would be preferred as then I could process all the data from the 
iostat probe and create very powerful reports.  I just dont know if that 
is possible as my current experiments have yielded no success.
