Hello Guys,

Something strange is happening here.
I'm using "VBoxManage metrics collect" to get some statistics of the
VMs, I'm trying to pipe it to grep and awk, and all works fine with
the following command line

"VBoxManage metrics collect --period 5 \* | grep host" (i know the \*
is redundant right, but stick with me)

but, when I try to use filters to get just, for example, the RAM usage like this

VBoxMange metrics collect --period 5 \* RAM/Usage/Total | grep host

it takes a long time for anything to appear in my screen, and when it
does I get about 7-15 metrics. Its like the output was being buffered
somewhere and was flushed all at once.
If i use the last command line without the piping everything goes
well, and I see regular updates on my screen.

Is this a known behavior or a bug somewhere?

Cheers.
