RegEx in DCI
-
Quick one...
How would you handle regex in the DCI transformation?
Let's say you poll an SNMP OID which returns a string similar to "MyVal=18#-99#AB_01".
You want to extract the "-99" and return an integer to graph it...In Perl it would sth like $1 ~=/#(.+)#/ - if I'm right.

Well I'm glad I can answer myself this time
Solution is...
sub main()
{
  $1~="#(.*)#";
  return $1;
}This script will return "-99" if I give it as input "MyVal=18#-99#AB_01".
And for those interested...sub main()
{
   $1~="#(.*)#(.*)$";
   return $2;
}This one will return "AB_01"
PS.: "main" not "Main"!!! Otherwise -> Error
