description:
 Reports the composite status of a NIOS-X server as held by the Infoblox
 Cloud Services Portal, together with its version, type, size and addresses.

 The service is {OK} while the server reports online, {WARN} when it reports
 degraded, pending or awaiting approval, and {CRIT} when it reports error or
 offline. Every mapping is configurable.

 The age of the server's last check-in is reported and can be given levels.
 The portal does not expose a dedicated last seen field, so the host record
 update timestamp is used instead. That timestamp is observed to lag by
 several minutes even on healthy servers, so the levels default to thirty
 and sixty minutes rather than acting as a heartbeat.

 If the portal reports a service on this server with no service type, the
 row cannot be given a stable item and is skipped. The count and names of
 any skipped rows appear here rather than being discarded silently.

discovery:
 One service is created per NIOS-X server, on the piggyback host
 representing that server.
