Read the manual: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/statetypes.html

That's the load when the state got back to OK:

The load was at "1.29, 0.67, 0.26" when nagios entered the hard warning
state:

> 02-23-2005 03:05:50	Service Alert	linux1	LOAD	WARNING	HARD
> WARNING - load average: 1.29, 0.67, 0.26

and had been above 1.0 for at least two minutes before (soft warning):
