Receiving a custom alert message from a web monitoring system

I have a system which can fail in several ways. I am currently piping all my watching through a single check which can output a file of my liking which can then be connected to externally. I am currently using an XML file with a status tag which is OK, if all is well.


I was trying to use Pingdoms custom monitoring to watch this file which is ok, as long as I want to know that everything is ok.


My problem is that when something goes wrong, and the XML file contains "Out of memory" in the status tag, Pingdom only reports that the check went wrong. It does not allow for returning the actual status which can then be sent out through the alert system.


I need to be able to send out these status messages when my system fails, so the receiver of the alert actually knows what is wrong, and not just that something is wrong.


Does anyone know if this is possible through Pingdom, or do I need to use another monitoring system to allow for this kind of message ?
