Another crazy idea: Add ability to pass alert message from custom script

LM Employee here, from the Sales Engineering team. Hello!

What if, for scripted datasources, we had a token that contained the stdout and another token that contained the stderr of the most recent poll?

You could add to the groovy telling it to call the LM API and put that kind of data as a property on the device/instance. You'd be able to get the entire raw output into a token, and then into an alarm notification.

Agreed that real templating is needed. Personally I'd love to see Jinja2.
