Hijacking this question a little, but maybe it will help other as well:

So far so good. But what abound sending Performance Data AND
extended service output via NSCA and parsing that correctly? As a
matter of fact I try to do that in a remote monitoring setup with a
second nagios instance, so it's not totally the same. Just so you
get an idea, here's what's in my nagios.cfg on the remote machine,
which is send via nsca

service_perfdata_file_template=$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATEID$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$|$SERVICEPERFDATA$

What I tried was this:
service_perfdata_file_template=$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATEID$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$|$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$

Didn't work.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Dennis
