virt-top csv output format changed
I use virt-top with CSV-switch to output all stats to a file which is parsed to fill SNMP-tree so the vm-stats can be queried using SNMP-walk/get remotely by monitoring systems (e.g. nagios, zabbix)
This worked using libvirt verions 0.7.X but with the most recent version (fedora 16, libvirt 0.9.X) the CSV-format has changed: floating point was represented as ',N.NNNN,' in the CSV with version 0.7X and now its represented as ',"N,NNNN",'. So the point has been changed to a comma and the complete number is now double-qouted because the comma now has a double function (floating-point and CSV-seperator). This makes it very hard to parse. Before I just did:
tail -n 1 virt-top.log | tr "," "\n" to split all values into seperate lines so I could read in this output directly into SNMP (via extend) - very easy and robust.
How can I archive the same now? Why has beend the format changed? How to contact the developers to ask for a new switch so at least the default seperator can be changed to something unique (e.g. ";").
Help much appreciated Thanks
