Alert Histogram options

[Ethan Galstad]

If you have the log_initial_states directive enable in the main 
config file, select "Yes" for the initial states logged option.  This 
causes the CGI to ignore initial alerts for some services are program 
(re)starts.

Ignore repeated states is good if you want to have the CGI ignore 
back-to-back alerts that are of the same state.  If you have 
sequential alerts for a service that are of the same state (i.e. 
CRITICAL) and they get logged, they could throw the numbers off in 
the CGI.  I guess it depends on what type of service it is that 
you're checking.
