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:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>foreach my $service ( @services ) {<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <Blah, Blah, Blah, do some stuff><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> $nsca_cmd .= "$nscahost\t$service\t$code\t$output";<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>};<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>my $retval = `$system /bin/echo -e "$nsca_cmd" | $nscaprog -H $nagioshost -c $nscacfg`;<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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?
