It's good to not include many initial codes, but I would start with at least three: OK = 0, UNKNOWN = 1, NORMAL = 2,If you go that route, could you please pick a word other than "normal" to describe errors that are not entirely unexpected? I'm worried that someone will see "normal" and use it instead of "OK" to indicate success.
