Output multiple variables from a single probe for use with TGenshi

[Travis Campbell <[email protected]…>]

I have a need to output multiple variables from a single probe. Right now, I can output multiple lines which associates multiple values to a single probe key name, but this isn't exactly what I want.

Sol suggested being able to output something in the form of:

{'serial-console-speed':'foo', 'grub-serial-order':'bar'}

from a probe so you can then be able to refer to it as:

${ metadata.Probesprobename?serial-console-speed?}

I'd like to be able to do this in order to colocate similar probed things in one probe script.

erg. that didn't work like I wanted.

${ metadata.Probes['probename']['serial-console-speed']}

you could do this by either parsing the value of the probe result in your template, or waiting for 1.0.1, where we want to add in support for dumping structured data out of probes in json format.

You can output XML, JSON, or YAML from a probe, and then access it with the .xdata, .json, or .yaml properties of the probe data now.
