I think the status info is Ajax-ed in... If so, it’s a separate HTTP request and process to display it, so being “different” should come as no surprise. So it may not be output by the server as UTF-8, or the Ajax routines to parse/display the output may be maniuplating it as if it’s ASCII...

Recommendation: Check_swap should be refactored to a get_swap function, OS-dependent, and then a comparison process, OS-independent. :-) I'm contemplating writing a Mac OS X check_swap, as there does not seem to be one, and not looking forward to parsing top -n 1 -S ... output... But I'd be a

[resending after subscribing; apologies if admin also approves] Check_swap is failing on a fresh install on OS X. This is no surprise, as it¹s trying to run /opt/local/libexec/nagios/check_swap There is no such file. What should have installed it, and where would I find it for OS X?... PS
