Only if nagios can determine what the initial state was. Normally, nagios does not log the first check of a host or service, only when it changes state. As such, when you run reporting now, nagios is probably showing the states as undetermined because it doesn't have anything in the logs to use to determine initial state (unless your selected host or service has changed state since restart). That's why you need to specify an initial assumed state and what that state should be (OK). Alternately, enabling the 'log_initial_states' option in nagios.cfg and restarting will log the first check for everything and therefore provide you with that initial state from that time forward. This is the same behavior you would have seen when you first installed nagios.
