Hi Craig,

So this is the output format from an alert that was generated by a
monitoring script?

How are the scripts invoked that look for a problem (i.e., that generate
this output)?

Are they configurable - can they take parameters, etc?

Is there any way to tell what parameters they expect/require?

Thanks for the info!
