There is some logging that gets written to syslog. It can also
be directed to a file. It's more human parsable than machine parsable.
I'm trying to come up with how to create a machine parsable file
that would be useful.

I'll have to think about this.

The "count" is the number of times it's been detected as
down. it does not increment for each check that it is "up".

Correct.

it's a percentage based on number of times the device is
checked and the number of times it was up vs down.
a device that has been checked 100 times and was down for
one of those checks would have an uptime of 99%.

You describe a hostname/ip and this describes the result of the
test. If the object is unpingable it has not responded to ping. If
it reports "conn timed out" (aka connection timed out), it was unable
to connect to the tcp/udp port specified and the remote system did not
respond.

Hmm.. this sounds like a pointer bug that I need to work
on.

I believe that is the first time it was checked.. or the time
that you restarted sysmond.
