Special characters in performance data

[lgmu]

Hey @bb-Ricardo
it's been a while, hope you're doing good!

I have a small issue with performance data and pnp4nagios.

This is the redfish data:

"MediaType": "SSD",
    "Model": "VR000480KXLXF",
    "Multipath": false,
    "NegotiatedSpeedGbs": 16.0,
    "PhysicalLocation": {
        "PartLocation": {
            "LocationOrdinalValue": 1,
            "LocationType": "Bay",
            "ServiceLabel": "Slot=23:Bay=1"
        }
    },
    "PredictedMediaLifeLeftPercent": 100.0,
    "Protocol": "NVMe",

This creates 'media_life_left_drive_480GB_16G_NVMe_SSD_Slot=23:Bay=1'=100%;10;5 in the performance metrics and pnp4nagios breaks when it sees the = in the label 😄

Maybe it would be a good idea to replace all kind of special chars with _ or - in the performance labels?

Hi,

mmhhh, not sure about chinging this as it would break existing collected performance data as the lable would change.

Not sure how other graphing tools handle the = or if this is only an issue for pnp4nagios

Maybe it could be an optional switch like --clean-perf-data or something?
