I think STATUS_DATA is what Nagios passes to the module when it updates 
the logged status of the service. This happens once for all services at 
load-time and once when max_attempts have been reached.

I should think so, yes. You can check broker.c for confirmation though. 
If you backtrace the function flow scheme you'll find how it's called 
from checks.c (I think).
