I configured nagios to use this method, and now the single quote characters
do not get stripped anymore. Problem solved I guess.

While I was configuring filebased performance data, I came across this in
nagios.cfg though:

-- begin snippet --
# ILLEGAL MACRO OUTPUT CHARACTERS
# This options allows you to specify illegal characters that are
# stripped from macros before being used in notifications, event
# handlers, etc.  This DOES NOT affect macros used in service or
# host check commands.
# The following macros are stripped of the characters you specify:
# 	$OUTPUT$, $PERFDATA$

illegal_macro_output_chars=`~$&|'"<>
-- end snippet --

This probably explains why the single quotes were stripped from the
performance data.

Anyway many thanks for all the help Ben.

Kind regards,
