Maybe there's a bug in the plugin. I haven't tested this, but you could try editing `nagios_nsca.rb` and changing line 104 to this:

```auto
message = "#{nagios_host}:#{nagios_service}:#{status.to_s}:#{msg}"

```

I saw [another similar report](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/lostash-nagios-nsca-plugin-nagios-status/179377) that was never resolved. Let me know if that fixes it, and we can dig deeper in the week.
