Remote Modules: How to report errors to panel?

[ishc]

Hello!

I am writing a remote module for cPanel,
using this documentation:
How to Write dnsadmin Plugin Remote Modules

My module is going to control external name servers,
create and replace zone files, etc.

But i do not understand how to report errors to cPanel's engine.

For example, I tried to `return ($Cpanel::NameServer::Constants::ERROR_GENERIC, $errmsg)`
from removezone() but this had no effect on the panel behavior.

Am I doing anything wrong?
How do I report error that occured in a "remote module"?

How can I change the status icon from green disk to red one?
Why does substring 'Unable to remove' in my module's output has
a magical effect to this icon (changes to a triangle with an exclamation mark)?
