In the 3.0 documentation section describing Host and Service Macros: There's some macros <macroname>, and there's some <last+macroname>: Example: $SERVICESTATE$ A string indicating the CURRENT state of the service... $LASTSERVICESTATE$ A string indicating the LAST state of the service...
However, these macro descriptions have the text "LAST", which would imply <last+macroname>: $HOSTOUTPUT$ The first line of text output from the LAST host check... $LONGHOSTOUTPUT$ The full text output (aside from the first line) from the LAST host check.... $HOSTPERFDATA$ This macro contains any performance data that may have been returned by the LAST host check. $SERVICEOUTPUT$ The first line of text output from the LAST service check... $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ The full text output (aside from the first line) from the LAST service check... $SERVICEPERFDATA$ This macro contains any performance data that may have been returned by the LAST service check. To be consistent, I think the documentation for these macros should read: $HOSTOUTPUT$ The first line of text output from the CURRENT host check... $LONGHOSTOUTPUT$ The full text output (aside from the first line) from the CURRENT host check... $HOSTPERFDATA$ This macro contains any performance data that may have been returned by the CURRENT host check. $SERVICEOUTPUT$ The first line of text output from the CURRENT service check... $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ The full text output (aside from the first line) from the CURRENT service check... $SERVICEPERFDATA$ This macro contains any performance data that may have been returned by the CURRENT service check. It would definately be nice if $LASTSERVICEOUTPUT$ did exist as a macro though! LAST OUTPUT is useful for calculating deltas, currently this is only possible by recording such information externally.
