Status Log Data and two small questions

[Russell Scibetti]

I've been working on a plugin where I need to know the exact structure 
of the status.log file, as in what each ;-delimited value stands for. 
 So I went into the code and found out, and I figured it would be a good 
reference to share with the list.  It could come in very handy for 
debugging, plugin development, custom CGI's, etc.  So here is a list of 
what the status.log actually means.  I attached it as a text file and 
printed it out at the bottom of the email.  If I have the time to write 
a Perl function that can easily grab data from a line of the status log 
(like representing the line as a hash), I'll email that to the list as well.

I noticed two fields that I'm curious about.  There is a 
failure_prediction_enabled setting for hosts and services.  Is this 
something that was going to be created but hasn't yet and the hook for 
the status log is there, or is there any failure prediction occurring?

Also, the field that says if something is in downtime is called the 
scheduled_downtime_depth.  Can this be something other than 0 or 1?  How 
is downtime depth determined?

Thanks, and here is the list of values:
