Small request for later version of Nagios.

[Ethan Galstad]

This is an old request, but I'm playing catch-up here...  The 
$HOSTSTATE$ and $SERVICESTATE$ macros will give you the info you're 
looking for.  They can be used in the perf data routines and will 
contain a text string with the condition of the service or host (e.g. 
"OK", "WARNING", etc.)  Nagios 2.x has two new variables: 
$HOSTSTATEID$ and $SERVICESTATEID$, which indicate the integer 
equivalent of the host or service status.
