The external process monitor checked for a specified return code to succeed or fail however if the value being checked doe not match, the value returned is not displayed and it is not stored.
If you allowed the same checking logic as you use for SNMP numeric values, we can then make checking the external process return code much more intelligent and keep a track of the return code for statistical purposes.
We run over a hundred external processes using perl and wmic and would find this quite beneficial.
