UserParam return multiple values

[threepac]

I want to set up a UserParam to capture jstat numbers.

At CLI I run:
jstat -gcutil 22428 1000 1
which returns:
S0 S1 E O P YGC YGCT FGC FGCT GCT
57.98 0.00 85.62 12.32 99.49 32 1.501 5 1.199 2.700

I need to grab all the values and return them. I would then like to split them out into the appropriate labels for stats, graphs etc.


I cannot re-execute and parse a different column, as the values need to be from one time slice.

How would I accomplish this?

I had a similar problem, here's what i did.

create a cron job on the host that runs your command every <interval> and writes the results to a temporary text file. then set up UserParameters that parse the individual values out of that text file.

Hope that helps...
