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

Yes, that would make what I described above much easier. I mentioned it before, but I'm lobbying internally for there to be baked in methods for doing lm_api gets. That would pave the way for lm_api RW methods like lm_api.setProp("propname","propvalue"). Obviously, this only need to be added for use within the collection script as the discovery script already has this available for instance level properties and property sources has it available for device level properties.

That FR gets a +1 from me.
