No. If the controller asks for STATUS_WARNING, then the responder should returns any status message of type STATUS_ERROR first, followed by STATUS_WARNING. Each status message is sent with the level matching its severity.

This allows the controller to know which messages are the most important. A controller might choose to show STATUS_ERROR in bright red text, STATUS_WARNING in a little notification window, and STATUS_ADVISORY in a hidden log file somewhere.

Hello Eric,
you have lost me.
The way it sounds is like no matter what it asks for, it gets error warnings advisories all at once. How is that supposed to work?

Surely if it asks for ERRORS, it needs to get errors and not warnings or advisories?
The spec makes absolutely no sense to me for this pid.

Kind regards
Bernt
