Problem logging criticals after host down

[Ricardo José Maraschini]

Hi Thomas,

Try to generate an Availability report for affected services ignoring 
SOFT STATES and you will see where problem is.
The service will becomes OK in avail just when the Nagios logs an HARD 
OK for the service in log files.

Regards,
Ricardo.
