http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#retain_state_information 
  - store state information in a file so when nagios gets relstarted  
it carries on from where it left off rather than start all checks from  
scratch again.  If you didn't have this enabled but the  
config_output_options was set to 2 then there would be nothing to load  
back in, hence the tables are blank.

0 - load in config from files but do not end config on to database
1 - load in config files and send to database
2 - load in retained state file config and send tto the db
1 + 2 = 3 - load in both config and retained info, merge together and  
send onto db

see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OR_Gate vs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AND_gate 
  and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_gate for more info on logic -  
principle is the same
