An idle icon and empty table of results would be fine. I'll come up  
with one and send it to you tomorrow.

Duration = The time it took to run the test use case.

Thank him for the feedback. Originally I had a "thumbs-up" image. I  
then learned that holding one's thumb up in Iraq is an insult. I'll  
keep trying.

Agree. I'll come up with one.

I would be ok with "checkTime" provided we are talking about the same  
thing. With a checkTime="600000" value, as the monitor runs, the icon  
is in a "service is up and running" position provided no exception  
was thrown in the previous 10 minutes (600,000 milliseconds).  
Otherwise the "service is in error state" icon appears.
