Guidelines

The current capabilities and limitations of the bulk statistics formatter are:

If you add %d or any numeric formatter for a string value (such as sysName), the attribute name will be used (for instance, sysName). The opposite is also true, except for sysUptime, which will use %s as a %u.
You can use %% if you want a % character to be part of the parsed name.
You can use the same attribute multiple times. For example, you may want a name that has %x and %u of collectorSequence.
Currently, there is no control over sequence numbers, except for the guarantee that the formatter will:
1. Use sequential values, beginning from 1
2. Persist through system reboot
If you need the sequential number to restart, remove and then add the bulk statistics receiver again.
You can use up to 128 characters for the remote file name. Anything beyond that is truncated when the filename is stored in nonvolatile memory, but this truncation is not visible until the next time the system reboots.
