Returning errors in UI views SearchFlashMessages or alert-error

[peter_m]

I'm trying to get my custom python generating command to output warnings or alerts below the search bar in the UI.

If I raise an exception, it displays there automatically, but like all exceptions it's messy.  I'd like to be able to catch the exception and format it correctly, or better still just write out the warning message for it to be picked up by the GUI.

It looks like I should create some custom [messages.conf] stanza and include that Name and formatting in the message.

[PYTHONSCRIPT:RESULTS_S_S]

message = Expecting %s results, server provided %s

The current logging is going to search.log (CHUNKEDEXTPROCESSORVIASTDERRLOGGER) but not reaching info.csv (infoPath).

Thanks in advance

Forgot to mention: would this be done via an update to the job status (while it's running)? If so please share any example code.. thanks
