Ok state looks like this:
# arrayprobe       
OK Arrayprobe All controllers ok
# echo $?
0

So far I've only seen Interim Recovery Mode which is a warning.
One could argue about that I guess, I found it to be ok for my
use case.

Failure is critical, which is definitely what I'd expect.

What I like most about it is its simpleness and yet it's useful
outside of Nagios, too. getting at the log of the controller is
nice, too:

# arrayprobe -r
