This looks like you're using a send_nsca version < 2.9, where multiple check results were seperated using newlines. In that case, you'll have to replace each newline character within multi-line output with the literal string '\n'. With NSCA >= 2.9, multiple check results are seperated using ASCII ETB characters (octal value: 27) instead of newlines, and multi-line output can be piped into send_nsca as-is. (Actually, converting the newline characters into '\n' will no longer work with NSCA >= 2.9.)
