Hi Thwack Collective,
I am migrating a bunch of scripts that ran originally in HPOM, I have a set of scripts that doesn't return a numeric value but just a message. What I am curious about is what do you guys do when for statistical values when you are only need the message to be returned? I was originally using -1 for major script related failures(unhandled errors), 0 for good return , and 1 for bad return. Unfortunately that doesn't look very good when we are trying to track the down status in a graph.
Additionally does any one attempt to use custom built modules in your scripts and how do you ensure they are on the servers you are monitoring?
Thanks in advanced.
