I'll take a stab at the rest.

Hosts and services aren't necessarily being checked. If a host is being
determined as unserviceable (down or unreachable), the rest of the
services aren't being checked, and likewise with parent/child relations
(at least in the future).

>>should_be_scheduled

I imagine this is for active checks only. Checks can be disabled via
web-interface for a number of reasons, and I imagine this flag gets set
if they are.

Umm... The current notification number? It can send several you know.

>>failure_prediction_enabled

Future use, I presume.

>>percent_state_change

Shows the percentage of change over the last 20 (I think) checks. This
is also what determines flapping and such.

With 2.0 you can schedule downtime for hosts and its children in any
number of generations. I think this shows how many layers below that are
being scheduled because of this particular one.


On a sidenote; I sure hope Ethan gets to writing developers
documentation someday soon. It should really simplify the contrib
development.
