Can you tell me the difference between using "data" and "status"?
A "status" message results in a column on the display, and also has a
color (red, green, yellow) that might trigger an alert.
A "data" message is never displayed and cannot generate an alert,
it is just a way of collecting data.
But data can be collected from a status message as well right? At least I hope so, because I want to update a status, AND graph the result. For instance in my oracle resync scenario, I want to send basically a status that says "Resync completed successfully. 500 files imported. Total Resync Time: 1530 seconds." I want the 1530 to be trended. Will I be able to do that, or will have have to send both a status and a seperate data message?
Thanks,
