It's not really documented outside of the code (there are lots of parameters for each). Using xdata/xrddefault.c as a reference (it's pretty easy to read/understand) --

Hosts:
	Status data - things like check type, current state, last hard state, performance data, plugin output, next check, current attempt, etc (xrddefault.c ~line 1175)
	Non-Status data - things like acknowledgement status, active/passive checks enabled, check command, check period, etc (xrddefault.c ~line 1263)

Services:
	Pretty much the same as above. Status data starting about line 1446, non-status starting about line 1538

Contacts: 
	Status data - last host/service notification (line 1721)
	Non-Status data - things like host/service notification periods, host/service notifications enabled, etc (line 1729)


Search within xrddefault.c for 'retain_status_information' and 'retain_nonstatus_information and look at those blocks.
