Hi Bryan, The default behaviour of check_openmanage is to use HTML linebreaks when run from Nagios, NRPE etc., and regular linebreaks in a console which has a TTY. The reason for this is that the plugin monitors several things, and in case of multiple alerts it's practical to display them each on a different line. However, since this behaviour doesn't fit everyone you can modify it with the '--linebreak' switch. To switch to regular (\n) linebreaks: check_openmanage --linebreak=REG You can also specify any string as a custom linebreak: check_openmanage --linebreak=' -- ' If you choose regular linebreaks, the first line will be put in the SERVICEOUTPUT macro, while any subsequent lines will be put in the LONGSERVICEOUTPUT macro. This is how Nagios 3.x handles multiline output from plugins. PS. In order for the default HTML linebreaks to work as indended in the web frontend, you should set "escape_html_tags=0" in the Nagios config. Cheers, -- Trond H.
