Hi All Dartware Folks,

We'd like to change the behaviour of the "Map Status" probe.

As it stands right now, the probe connects to the server/map and gets a list of 
all up/down/major/minor/etc... and "bubbles up" the most severe problem. It 
prints out a nice list of total devices/down devices/etc.. on it's status 
window.

As an ISP - we sometimes have sub-maps which contain just a bunch-o-customers; 
some of which are up, and some of which are down (people sometimes power off 
their end-device). We'd like to adjust the behaviour of the map status probe to 
do something like the following: Out of 20 Devices, if 5 are down, then change 
to major, if 3 are down, then minor, if 15 are down, mark as flashing-red-down, 
etc...

Basically, we'd like to set a calculative/threshold on the number of devices 
within the sub-map that would trigger a critical/major/minor/etc..

Now - here's the hard part:

This probe is an "internal probe", and as such, we're not privy to the "secret 
sauce" that Dartware uses in order to make this probe function.

Leads to two options:

(1) Can Dartware "open up" this part of the probe/etc.. so that we can adjust 
it's behaviour, and/or write our own replacement Map-Status Probe? (i.e. 
release it to us)

(2) Could Dartware add the functionality we're asking for into the base 
map-status probe? (i.e. add some % threshold values to trigger 
minor/major/critical/down).

Thanks in Advance

- Chris.
