Description

In the admin UI, the dataimport status screen is showing a green status bar even when an import fails to run. The error that occurred in attached screenshot was a connection problem – in this case the database didn't exist. I have seen this in production when a URL for SQL Server is incorrect. The raw status output clearly shows "Full import failed".

I believe that the status should show in a different color, probably red. There is an icon of a green check mark in the status also. For those who are color blind, that should change to an icon with an X in it for a visual indicator not related to color.

I am painfully aware of how terrible the DIH status output is. It is great for human readability, but extremely difficult for a computer to understand.
