Problem sending passive results using NSCA with multi-line output

[Tech Support]

All;

    I have a bunch of ( PERL ) plugins that are run passively out of CRON
with the results sent to the Nagios monitoring host using NSCA. Most of them
work great, and they return results on dozens of services. I'm doing it this
way because instead of running dozens of plugins actively, I can run one
plugin passively. The problem is I have a few that are choking when the
output contains multi-line output, and I'm not sure how to get around that.
Basically, my scripts look something like this:

 

foreach my $service ( @services ) {

    <Blah, Blah, Blah, do some stuff>

    $nsca_cmd .= "$nscahost\t$service\t$code\t$output";

};

my $retval = `$system /bin/echo -e "$nsca_cmd" | $nscaprog -H $nagioshost -c
$nscacfg`;

 

Like I said, Nagios is choking when the output contains multi-line output.
Does anyone have any insight at all on how I can get around this? Any help
at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks;

John
