how to construct Regex datapoint statements

I am not finding much documentation on how to construct regex statements for a datapoint other than this: https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/logicmodules/datasources/datapoints/normal-datapoints ...

    Hey @JaredM 

    So, I don’t have that exact OID to test against, but I tested against this one in my own environment:

    1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0 which returns a value of 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.3.2.10

    I was able to parse the 1.3 out of that returned value and show it in raw data using this regex:

    ^(\d+\.\d+)

@LMjosephBrett , thanks and I realize you caught the fact that this needs to be parsed more than just the hyphenated suffix.

I’m okay with a result of “12.5”. But I can’t get a result if I try:
datapointName:/^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?/

even:
datapointName:\d.

Therefore, it still feels like something that is a specific requirement to the platform is missing in the statement. I have gathered “datapointName:” is required.. anything else? That’s what I’m asking for help with at this point, rather than the actual regex statement construction.
