Notification Macros to Determine How Long Last State Duration

[Larry Low]

Here is what I'm trying to figure out how to do.  I'm pretty sure with the current Nagios variables available this is not possible (3.0).

I have a perl script that is executed for notifications.  On notifications that are triggered from state changes I would like to print out how long the service was in a previous state before this new state occurred.

Example:

A) State is OK for 10 minutes (10 checks of ok separated by 1 minute)
B) State changes to CRITICAL
C) Notification triggered

LASTSERVICESTATECHANGE will be current time
LASTSERVICEOK will be 1 minute ago
LASTSERVICESTATE will be OK
LASTSERVICESTATECRITICAL will be current time

I'm thinking the problem is that LASTSERVICESTATECHANGE should be 10 minutes since LASTSERVICESTATE is OK.  Bug or misinterpretation of macro?

Thoughts?  Suggestions?
