 Given the '80 char terminals' and the plan to add more fields, I would
suggest a kind of key-value output which should be as easy to parse:

----- cut here -----
c7283ee7-0e8d-4cb8-8552-a63ab05deaa7: Hostname: 10.70.36.7
c7283ee7-0e8d-4cb8-8552-a63ab05deaa7: State: Connected
----- cut here -----

 This way you should be able to line-filter the output as if it was all
in one line.
