It's possible and not overly hard (zlib is fairly straightforward to
use). I'm not sure how much benefit you'll notice from it though, as
send_nsca sends the output of one check at a time, and has no idea of
state. As such, you get the compression size overhead for each check,
and as the results should already be fairly small, you won't gain all
that much.
