Collector generator

Generates a collector skeleton implementation from a WMI class.

Usage

Build the generator:

go build .

Run the script to query the WMI service and send the output to the generator:

.\New-Collector.ps1 -Class Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Processor

This will generate a collector. The collector name is generated by first removing Win32_PerfRawData_Perf and lower-casing, so Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Processor will generate os_processor.go. This can be overridden by passing -CollectorName to the script.
