Thanks for the replies and advice! Why are iswarning and iscritical different functions? They are both doing nearly the same thing, and they are both almost 100 lines long. You've effectively doubled the code it takes to check ranges. Perhaps think about it in terms of: def is_within_range(value, th...

Great idea, I'll definitely do that.

Thanks for looking sreinhardt! I think I have the final warning/critical threshold checks fully vetted, including the @ (inclusive) and ~ (negative infinity). I'd really appreciate if someone could take a look and run this through some tests to make sure it handles all contingencies. I ran it throug...

My script is being written in Python and so far this is what I have. I'm hoping that someone can put a secon...
