I am trying to push data from sar to the db. One of the commands i am using to push the data is as follows, can someone help me see what is wrong?

sar 1 1 -u | tail -n 1 | awk -v MYHOST=$(hostname) ‘{ print “cpu,host=“MYHOST” %usr=”$2",%nice="$3",%sys="$4",%idle="$5}’ | curl -i -XPOST “http://${INFLUX_SERVER}:8086/write?db=OSStat” -s --data-binary @-

I think you just need some quotes on the %usr string field:

- cpu,host=hostname %usr=all,%nice=6.86,%sys=0.00,%idle=4.55
+ cpu,host=hostname %usr="all",%nice=6.86,%sys=0.00,%idle=4.55
