Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem, and I cannot find any docs on it, so if it doesn't exist - it will be a really awesome feature to make flexible scripts/monitors.

Describe the solution you'd like
When a monitor/script is run on a device, there should be some sort of way to return data back to Tactical.

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context
An example would be reading the output of the script and just parsing the response lines.

And example of this would be:

echo "##tactical[<messageName> 'value']"

Write-Host "##tactical[<messageName> 'value']"

The use case could be as simple as reporting internet speed test information or latency to a server.

/pings or does speed test to server/

echo "##tactical[SPEEDTEST_DOWN '10']"  
echo "##tactical[SPEEDTEST_UP '10']"  
echo "##tactical[SPEEDTEST_LAT '1']"

That could then set variables/attributes on the device on tactical (https://docs.tacticalrmm.com/script_variables/)
So create a variable in tactical of type writable (so the scripts/monitors) could output the information back to tactical - but other variables would not be able to overwrite them - also means minimal additional development.

And if you have a monitor, could trigger based on when the variable goes out of spec.

Datto does it with NAME=VALUE (https://rmm.datto.com/help/en/Content/4WEBPORTAL/Monitor/CustomComponentMonitor.htm)

@silversword411 Got an example to set variables? since Write-Output just outputs data

Maybe I'm not understanding what you're asking.

If you want to return data from a powershell script use Write-Output "Some text". If you want to output data from a script it's Write-Output $variable or Write-Output "Variable: $variable"

Sometimes you need to escape...so it's Write-Output "Error with Code $($code)!"

use a collector task with custom fields, see https://docs.tacticalrmm.com/functions/custom_fields/ (video walkthru at bottom of page)
