It's not documented at this time (for 2.0). You could use this FAQ for
the 1.x status.log as a guide. There have been a number of changes but
it's a good start --

http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=66
 
The current_state codes are the plugin exit codes --

0	OK
1	WARNING
2	CRITICAL
3	UNKNOWN	

(http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html).

Everything else looks pretty straightforward or directly from the
host/service definitions. If you have any you can't figure out or it's
not clear from the source then we can help figure them out.
