Yes, but I think that NSClient++ is responsible for that, putting
everything inside single quotes. As you can see it does that for the
plugin output as well.

Yes, thank you, this was much clearer :) However, the quotes are not
needed according to the guidelines for performance data[1]:

  3. the single quotes for the label are optional. Required if spaces, =
     or ' are in the label

The perfdata labels don't contain any of the offending characters.

Could it be that this is a Windows issue, or perhaps NSClient++?

Any NSClient++ users here who can confirm if this is the case? I'm
thinking that perhaps the underscore character '_' is throwing off
Windows or NSClient++.
