You should read the file and parse the first line, that not beginns with "#".
Then your tool knows, what's the status of cluster is. Is it "OK", you have
to do nothing more, if it's "INFO" and "WARN", it's your decison if you
display something. Is it "ERRO" or "DOWN" you must ("must" like in rfc 2119
[1]) give out the text. But that is the better decision anyway, because your
tools did not work because the cluster is down :). If you add additional
informations in your tools, is your desicion of corse.

Of corse :). If you need no mysql, information about mysql is useless, isn't
it? Perhaps there can be a general-information-file in future (for warning
about planing down-time of the hole cluster) - but not yet.

The enforcable is ONLY for ERRO and DOWN. And if you have good reasons to use
it not, then use it not (but we send all users to you ;)).
BTW: Erwin asked in chat, if there is a way to read the files without using
http. Yes, there is. The files can be found in /var/www/
