This is an old request, but I'm playing catch-up here... The
$HOSTSTATE$ and $SERVICESTATE$ macros will give you the info you're
looking for. They can be used in the perf data routines and will
contain a text string with the condition of the service or host (e.g.
"OK", "WARNING", etc.) Nagios 2.x has two new variables:
$HOSTSTATEID$ and $SERVICESTATEID$, which indicate the integer
equivalent of the host or service status.
