what to do about special charaters in field values?

I am currently collecting user agent information over at cargo-bins/cargo-quickinstall#165 (review) and I managed to end up with some a fun Tag Key of like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.67 Safari/537.36,version (see screenshot from the latest influxdb cloud).

I'm assuming something is not being escaped correctly somewhere? I'm still digging into it.

https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1/write_protocols/line_protocol_tutorial/#special-characters-and-keywords says to use \ for escaping everything. It seems like most other user agent strings are correctly reported, so I'm going to try writing a unit test for this and see where the problem is.

Maybe it's too long that it doesn't show the full string?

Or is it truncated somewhere?

I think the problem is more likely to be on our end. Sorry for the spam. Will re-open if it's a library problem once I've narrowed it down.
