  /**
   * Runs the sensor, updating $sensor_result.
   *
   * An implementation must provide any checks necessary to be able to populate
   * the provides sensor result instance with a combination of the following
   * possibilities:
   *
   *  - Set the sensor status to critical, warning, ok, info or unknown with
   *    SensorResultInterface::setStatus(). Defaults to unknown.
   *  - Set the sensor value with SensorResultInterface::setValue(). This can
   *    be a number or a string. Note that hook_monitoring_sensor_info()
   *    defaults to numeric. If a sensor does not return a numeric result,
   *    it must be defined accordingly.
   *  - Set the expected sensor value with SensorResultInterface::setExpectedValue().
   *    When doing so, it is not necessary to set the sensor status explicitly,
   *    as that will happen implicitly. See below.
   *  - Set the sensor message with SensorResultInterface::setMessage(), which
   *    will then be used as is. The message must include all relevant
   *    information.
   *  - Add any number of status messages which will then be added to the
   *    final sensor message.
   *
   * Based on the provided information, the sensor result will then be compiled.
   * It will attempt to set the sensor status if not already
   * done explicitly by the sensor and will build a default message, unless a
   * message was already set with SensorResultInterface::setMessage().
   *
   * Sensors with unknown status can either be set based on an expected value or
   * thresholds. If the value does not match the expected value, the status
   * is set to critical. Sensors that support thresholds should either subclass
   * \Drupal\monitoring\Sensor\SensorThresholds or implement
   * \Drupal\monitoring\SensorThresholdsInterface and provide their own
   * configuration form.
   *
   * The default sensor message will include information about the sensor value,
   * expected value, thresholds, the configured time interval and additional
   * status messages defined.
   * Provided value labels and value types will be considered for displaying the
   * sensor value, see hook_monitoring_sensor_info() for their documentation. If
   * neither value nor status messages are provided, the message will default to
   * "No value".
   *
   * Compiled message examples:
   *  - $90.00 in 1 day, expected $100.00.
   *    This is the message for a sensor with a commerce_currency value type, a
   *    configured time interval of one day and a value of 90 and expected value
   *    of 100.
   *  - 53 login attempts in 6 hours, exceeds 20, 10 for user administrator.
   *    This the message for a failed login sensor with value 53 with a
   *    threshold configuration of exceeds 20 and a status message "10 for user
   *    administrator".
   *
   * @param SensorResultInterface $sensor_result
   *   Sensor result object.
   *
   * @throws \Exception
   *   Can throw any exception. Must be caught and handled by the caller.
