On the nagios-users list, there's a thread that points out a bug that affects
the "Service State Trends". From a post by Eric Bollengier:
----------------- quote

====> BUG ssh is in CRITICAL HARD STATE, but OK is SOFT !!
----------------- end quote
I've had this same thing happen to me, though with a different service. The
result is a 5 day 8 hour block of "critical" in my report unless I edit the
proper log file and change the SOFT to HARD.
Either fixing the real problem OR including SOFT states in reporting would show
the correct states.
Thanks,
