Read and Use String From Command Data Point

I have been looking around the internet and I can't seem to figure out if there is a way to do this. If I have a custom script that I have Zenoss call to ingest data that resembles the format:

!#/bin/sh
echo "Disk Information | dskSize=14565432 dskLocation=/var/opc/someDir "

Is there a way to grab the string that comes after dskLocation and is there a way to reference it using a TALES expression Or does the Zenoss database only allow ingestion of numeric values

If you are using this script in a performance template then the value has to be numeric. If you want string data then you need to write a modeler plugin to gather that information. Typically a modeler is run every 12 hours whereas a performance template is run more frequently - every 5 mins Every hour Depends on the template.

Cheers,
