Can I run a powershell script?

FWIW, having also come originally from Nagios, I miss the ability to transmit arbitrary string data back via alerts. Some of this can be emulated with auto properties, but those can be set only during discovery not collection.  I posted a feature request previously to allow definition of enums that can be bound to datapoints (global values and overridden values within specific datasources/datapoints). these could then be used to avoid the current awkward legend method and actually show the intended purpose of DP values where needed via tokens. Imagine a line that showed the actual meaning of the current value instead of a long truncated legend line that makes you dig around for what it means.

I also think it should be possible to improve the property menus to leverage more advanced typing and UI.  For example, a property might be just a string as now (preferably with better input box control), or it might be a radio button, selection menu, etc. so that folks using properties can easily find what is supported and what values/ranges are allowed.  This also would be something where those hints would be defined within logicmodules primarily, but it should be possible to define them more generally (at least the typing/UI definitions, which could then be bound to properties that are used within modules.  This is not strictly related to the topic, but is about readability and usability so I tossed it in there, too :).
