I use FORMAT=TEXT and some perl magic to filter out the relevant lines from 
the full size message for disk, memory and procs.

if ( $type eq "disk" ) {
   foreach my $line (@message) {
      if ( $line =~ /&yellow (.*) \((.*)% used\) has reached the WARNING level 
\(.*%\)/ ) {
         $return .= "warn $1 $2% "
      } elsif ( $line =~ /&red (.*) \((.*)% used\) has reached the PANIC level 
\(.*%\)/ ) {
         $return .= "error $1 $2% "
      }
   }
} elsif ( $type eq "memory" ) {
   foreach my $line (@message) {
      if ( $line =~ /&yellow +([a-z]+).+ (\d+)%/i ) {
         $return .= "warn $1 $2% "
      } elsif ( $line =~ /&red +([a-z]+).+ (\d+)%/i ) {
         $return .= "error $1 $2% "
      } else {
      }
   }
} elsif ( $type eq "procs" ) {
  foreach my $line (@message) {
      if ( $line =~ /&yellow (.+)$/ ) {
         $return .= "warn $1 "
      } elsif ( $line =~ /&red (.+)$/ ) {
         $return .= "error $1  "
      } else {
      }
   }
}
