How to tell if a Service plugin result has multiline output?

[Matthew Jurgens]

Nagios v3 now has multiline plugin output, but from what I can find the 
only place you can see the detail of it or even discover that multiple 
lines exist is on the service details screen (refer attachment 
DetailStatus.jpg). The service summary screen (refer attachment 
MainStatus.jpg) does not even offer a hint of multiline output.

As I missing something? Is there some configuration I can do?

I realise that each plugin could be rewritten to include something on 
the first line of output if multiple lines existed (eg "more ....") but 
this would not nicely integrate with Nagios.

It would be good if there was an icon (like the downtime/acknowledged 
icons etc) showing that a service result had multiple lines of output at 
the summary level so that at glance you can tell which detail screens 
you needed to look at.
