Description:
The script example in the documentation does not check for known exceptions, so it can be run, and actually appear to succeed, when really some internal exception is being returned that is just ignored. 

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-monitor/2.2/en/mem-advisor-scripting-blackouts.html

How to repeat:
perl ./blackout.pl localhost:8080 admin mysql nonexistantservername:3306 true

Suggested fix:
Add the following to the bottom of the script:

  if ($response->content =~ /UserUnauthorizedException/ ||
       $response->content =~ /ServerDoesNotExistException/) { 
  	die $response->content;
  }
