Its not perfect but you can use exec instead of alert in if-tests and  
call the program/script you want to handle the notification. Such as  
in this example where I call growl:

   if failed host 192.168.1.100
      port 80 protocol http then exec
      "/usr/local/bin/growlnotify -m 'apache failed' -t apache"
