IT works as Dirk explained and you now understand. The extra info is essentially an extended error code. For an http check this can be "500 internal server error". For an external error level check this would be the error level (1,2,3, etc). Therefore you can alert on the extended error. For an error level check you can send one alert when there is 1 and another alert when the error level is 2.
