A collection of open-source deferred data scripts for SevOne

This is the core script in the collection. It is agnostic to the data being supplied to it; in true Unix style, it simply reads data points from STDIN and imports them to a SevOne appliance using the Deferred Data SOAP API mechanism.

Required information is supposed to deferred-data-import via command-line, as follows: deferred-data-import 'SevOne name or IP' 'username' 'password' 'Device Name'

Data input should follow this format: "timestamp" "object name" "object type" ["indicator name 1" "indicator format 1" "indicator units 1" "indicator value 1" ["indicator name 2" "indicator format 2" "indicator units 2" "indicator value 2" [... etc]]] "Indicator format" refers to "GAUGE", "COUNTER32", or "COUNTER64". Most of what you import via Deferred Data will be GAUGE. Refer to the SevOne manual for more information. It does attempt to use quotes to allow spaces in text fields, command-line style, but note that this mechanism is not perfect. Non-numeric values will be treated as dropped polls.
