reporting

[Russell Scibetti]

Host checks won't occur unless a service for that host fails.  So if you 
are trying to get a trend graph for a host that has never (or hardly 
ever) had a service fail, you are going to get mostly indeterminate 
since the host is hardly ever checked.  You want to changes the First 
Assumed State from unspecified to Host OK.  Also, make sure in your 
nagios log you have the log_initial_states optione set to 1.
