Output from nodegrid.cli is missing data or newline characters

[zpe-jose-deleon]

Output from nodegrid.cli seems to be missing some data and newline characters. I tested with running export_settings. Note the following lines below:

• the line with enable_file_protection
• the line with show_hostname_on_webui_header

There are others.

Important to note that, export_settings has its own function: $ sudo salt TARGET nodegrid.export_settings "/settings/" --timeout 1500
