String Mappings – OneSight collects numeric performance data. If
you are measuring a WMI object representing a String datatype, it
can be converted to a number for use in OneSight by using the
String Mappings field. Simply specify a semicolon delimited
mapping of Strings to Integers. For example, ―false=0;true=1‖;
will convert a ―false‖ reading to a 0 value in OneSight, and this
will be displayed in OneSight Status as ―false=0‖. If you only
want to display the string on the OneSight status page, use a
colon, rather than a semi-colon to delimit the values.
If you neglect to provide a mapping for a specific string,
OneSight will consider this a Sample Failure, and report the
String that was returned. String Mappings can also be used to
translate a number to a String for display in OneSight Status.
This is helpful when numbers represent an objects state.
Note that string matching is case-insensitive and data that has a
colon cannot be used in string mapping.
