The very same program you use for exit status may produce output.
It is included in alert emails. It is "R:8.8.8.8 2"

  Status failed Service network_resolv

         Date:        Wed, 18 Apr 2018 05:01:42
         Action:      alert
         Host:        staging.example.com
         Description: status failed (1) -- R:8.8.8.8 2
