The VM monitoring in PowerJoular allows monitoring in a Linux guest under any host OS (including Windows).
However, line endings in Linux (LF) is \n while in Windows (CRLF) it is \r\n.

Get_Line in Ada removes line ending only of the platform it is running on.
For instance, in Linux, the function removes LF line endings.
When reading a file created in Windows (such as a Windows host and Linux guest), the function remove LF ending but not CRLF, thus keeping an additional character and fails in converting to Long_Float.

Currently, we created a new function Read_Watts that will manually copy the digits and dot and properly converts the data.
Ideally, we need to explore a better solution and to replace it with standard Ada functions.
