email notifications using longserviceoutput have \n

[NeoMatrixJR]

email notifications using longserviceoutput have \n in the text instead of actual line breaks. Can this be fixed?
Also, I'd like to send a CLI formatted table that would contain "|" characters, is there any way to have "|" characters in the multi-line/long output of a check/plugin without it thinking everything after the 2nd "|" is perf data?

Also, why does well formatted data like this (on the command line)

Code: Select all

Try editing your xi_service_notification_handler command and change longserviceoutput to this:

Code: Select all

--longserviceoutput="$$(echo "$LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$" | sed 's/\\n/\n/g' )"

See if that resolves it.

There's not currently a way to use | in the output, it's reserved for perfdata, please update the plugin to replace it with some other character for it to work.

This is why the spaces are removed:

Code: Select all
