User regex not covering specific case

[vibexpro]

Host operating system: output of uname -a Centos 7

flexlm_exporter version: output of flexlm_exporter --version v0.0.4-29-g66beca4-dirty

flexlm_exporter command line flags and relevant YAML configuration file information

Created docker-compose.yml:
version: '3.3'
services:
flexlm_exporter:
container_name: flexlm_exporter
user: root
ports:
- '9319:9319'
volumes:
- '/usr/local/sbin/:/usr/bin/flexlm/'
- '/opt/workarea/config/:/config/'
image: 'mjtrangoni/flexlm_exporter:master'
command: --path.lmutil="/usr/bin/flexlm/lmutil" --path.config="/config/licenses.yml"

license.yml

licenses:

• name: vendor_server
  license_file: /config//.lic
  monitor_users: True
  monitor_reservations: True

Are you running flexlm_exporter in Docker? Yes

What did you do that produced an error? I searched for a specific user in Prometheus "flexlm_feature_used_users" graphs and noticed that the user field contain non-relvanet data.

The problem is with a specific feature on a vendor license
lmstat examples line:
user sever server:1 (v6.170) (sever/11111 22222), start Tue 3/3 14:14 ---> Catch by regex
user sever server:1 Placeholder One (v18.100) (sever/11111 22222), start Tue 3/3 14:11, 2 licenses --> Catch "user sever server:1" as user
user sever server:1 Placeholder Two-Three (Max. 4 cores) (v18.100) (sever/11111 22222), start Tue 3/3 14:11, 2 licenses --> Catch "user sever server:1 Placeholder Two-Three (Max." as user

What did you expect to see?

I expect to see user name

What did you see instead?

user name with additional data from lmstat line like the above example.

Can you adjust the user regex to ignore everything between the username to version?
If not, can we use split by space on the group user?

Thanks.

Hi,
We have the same issue, it seems that the regex needs to be adjusted for this case.

Please see demo

Hi @HavivEderi,

Thanks for reporting. Why did you close the issue? I overlooked this it seems. I will check the output you put in the regex tester.
