i set up alarms on their output. for instance, i would run a "wget" on a url and then search for certain strings within the output given by the "wget".
the problem is, i cant get the entire output or response of my wget/curl command to show up correctly in the Nagios GUI.
this is because there are a variety of characters that confuses the GUI. these characters include but aren't limited to: /\[]^& etc. i guess the term for them is "metacharacters".
how can I force it so that ALL ouput produced by a wget or curl is actually shown, down to the very last character?
i.e. for example, the below is the most basic example i can show as to what i want:
I would like to be able to show everything that is outputted by the wget, in the format that it was outputted.

country, data, folk, jazz, newage, reggae, rock, soundtrack, misc.
template [disc-id] [tracks]
Generates a template (empty) cddb file to stdout. The command line should be essentially the output of cd-discid.
query [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [tracks]
Looks up disc on server (should be of form "http://host/cddb/cddb.cgi") remainder of command line is in the same form as that returned by
the cd-discid program. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identify-
ing ourselves to the CDDB server. Outputs response code and entries with matching CDDB entries, if successful, from the CDDB server.
read [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [genre]
Dumps CDDB entry to stdout. File will contain an extra #CATEGORY= line, which leaves it a valid CDDB file but which will be recognized by
parse and send commands. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identi-
fying ourselves to the CDDB server.
