That sould be find, performance data is only a single line.

Do you use the nagios_grapher or the NETWAYSGrapher? The nagios_grapher operates with regular expressions, so you can decide if you want to extract the data from plugin output or perfdata. Also if you write your custom regex, the output format is pretty marginal. The nagios_grapher can not operate on dynamic keys, if you have changing perf data key values (mailbox1, mailbox15) you have to rewrite your template and delete the rrd file. The NETWAYSGrapher parses the outputs automatically. If you providing perfdata it will using this, if the format does not equals to the perfdata guidelines it will miss the data. Just to find some concluding words about that: Multiline output in the plugin output is ok (but not really beautiful ;-)), the perfdata section should equal to the guidelines to provide a generic way for all parser coders ;-).
