The way it works it that if the plugin exits with a code of 1 (WARNING) Zenoss will set the severity of the event to whatever you selected for severity when you created the data source. If the plugin exits with a code of 2 (CRITICAL) Zenoss will use the next highest severity. So if you choose Warning as the severity in the data source, and the plugin exits with a code of 2, the event will actually have a severity of Error. Hope this makes sense!

I looked for a check_3ware nagios plugin about 3 years ago, and didn't find one so I ended up writing my own limited one. This one looks much more robust, so I'll work on switching over to it soon.
