The result code of a command is stored in a special variable named $?

Check the value of that variable in an if statement immediately after
the rsync line in your script

If the value is 0 then there were no errors. If the value is 23, then
you could log a warning or not. If there is any other value in $? ,
then you have another problem.

If we could see the relevant lines of your script we might be able to
provide more help.

Also you control whether your script succeeds or fails based on the
last line in your script.

If you want it to succeed, the last line would be

exit 0
