Icinga2, alert state

[hayt (hayt xy)]

hello team,

We plan to use “previous_hard_state” attribute, that can take state values 0,1,2,3.
To check what was the last state before recovery. In recovery we will have to know / report the previous state (was it Critical, Warning …)

But what does the value “99” mean - the previous state is not defined?
For example service is OK and was never in alert state.

Exactly. We prefer to call 99 “pending”.

@Al2Klimov Could you point me to where this was documented? I’m not able to find it here >> Object Types - Icinga 2 and also here Advanced Topics - Icinga 2
