Detailed Description

A check object returns a result object.

Most checks can use this an instance of this directly but if you have a 'details' which is computationally expensive then extend this and overide the get_details() method so that it is only called when it will be needed.

Member Data Documentation

$details

string core\check\result::$details = ''

protected

details about check.

This may be a large amount of preformatted html text, possibly describing all the different states and actions to address them.

CRITICAL

const core\check\result::CRITICAL = 'critical'

This is used to notify if a check is a major critical issue.

An error which is affecting everyone in a major way.

ERROR

const core\check\result::ERROR = 'error'

This is used to notify if a check failed.

Something is wrong with a component and a feature is not working.

INFO

const core\check\result::INFO = 'info'

This is used to show info for a check.

This is equivalent to OK but could be used for alerting to potential future warnings such as a deprecation in a service.

NA

const core\check\result::NA = 'na'

This is used to notify if a check does not apply.

In most cases if a check doesn't apply a check object shouldn't be made. This state exists for when you always want visibilty of the check itself. Can be useful for a check which depends on another check and it helps focus on the other check which matters more.

UNKNOWN

const core\check\result::UNKNOWN = 'unknown'

This means we could not determine the state.

An example might be an expensive check done via cron, and it has never run. It would be prudent to consider an unknown check as a warning or error.

WARNING

const core\check\result::WARNING = 'warning'

Warnings.

Something is not ideal and should be addressed, eg usability or the speed of the site may be affected, but it may self heal (eg a load spike)
