| Either of these seem feasible, depending on specificity --
|
| $LASTHOSTSTATECHANGE$     This is a timestamp in time_t format (seconds
| since the UNIX epoch) indicating the time the host last changed state.
| $LASTHOSTUP$     This is a timestamp in time_t format (seconds since the
| UNIX epoch) indicating the time at which the host was last detected as
| being in an UP state.

I recall that $LASTHOSTSTATECHANGE$ only worked to indicate the previous
working period on a down message but the up message showed a bogus
counter (being 0 or close to zero). So that variable is not that usefull.

I for one would not care about how long the UP period was but I do care
about the DOWN period. But I have not yet found a way to add it to the
report.

PS: I see no reason to take this off the list. Hence I used the
Reply-To: header.
