check_cluster2 problem found - looking for a solution

[Greg Vickers]

I don't have the service state ID numbers, the on-demand macro 
$SERVICESTATE:hostid:serviceid$ is being converted on the fly by the 
Nagios process before (assumption) the fork process to run check_cluster2.

Is there a place where I can get the ID numbers these on-demand macros 
are expanded to?
