What happened?

Description

The line protocol generated by influxDB exporter has following issues:
String values are not enclosed by double quotes because all the data is been mapped to tags set instead of to fields set.

Because of above issue, the influxDB UI (hosted in localhost 8086) is not displaying any data as UI needs data to be in fields set while data and measurements is been displayed via influxQL.

Expected Result

SP-Srvrmon File\ Start\ Time="20240115T1958-00000121-20min",Thread\ No.=155909,epochthreadEnd=1705348627,epochthreadStart=1705347444,otel.library.name="SP-Srvrmon",psSessionThread.DB2\ Fetch\ Prep.MaxTime=0.004,psSessionThread.DB2\ Fetch\ Prep.MinTime=0,psSessionThread.DB2\ Fetch\ Prep.totTime=0.006,count=0

Actual Result

Sorry for the delay here.

Tag keys and tag values are not quoted in line protocol. See some examples that include special characters here: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/reference/syntax/line-protocol/#examples-of-special-characters-in-line-protocol
