This way, one can use the name or the number if that would be easier
(for < or > checks).
The downside with numeric statuses is that you need more knowledge to
use them compared with the label method. I have to know that 7 = unknown
or 5 = too hot, etc.
That suggestion wouldn't actually help BTW as the statusNumber is a
label so you could only use regex matches rather than >/<. If you wanted
that as well you'd need a separate metric
(idrac_amperage_probe_status_number or something) that has no labels and
just the 1-10 value.
The value of that purely numeric status metric also depends on what the
status values actually are. It might be more useful for things which
"progress" (good, poor, bad, broken) but probably not for statuses which
are unrelated (network error, disk error, hardware fault, temperature
error) as you are unlikely to use >/<
