On the nagios-users list, there's a thread that points out a bug that affects 
the "Service State Trends".  From a post by Eric Bollengier:

----------------- quote

 ====> BUG ssh is in CRITICAL HARD STATE, but OK is SOFT !!

I've had this same thing happen to me, though with a different service.  The 
result is a 5 day 8 hour block of "critical" in my report unless I edit the 
proper log file and change the SOFT to HARD.

Either fixing the real problem OR including SOFT states in reporting would show 
the correct states.

Thanks,
