doc/08-advanced-topics.md: Reference CheckResult state#10421
Merged
Conversation
Reference the Check Result State Mapping table for the CheckResult state field. This table covers both Service and Host states while the prior documentation string only covered Services. This change is useful since there are different kinds of states for Hosts when using the Icinga 2 API. For one, there is a "normalized" version of 0 for UP and 1 for DOWN. Then there is the exit code version for 0/1 for UP and 2/3 for DOWN. Unfortunately, often this depends on the context and sometimes even intermingles. To make it obvious which kind of state one can expect for a CheckResult object, I have linked to the already existing documentation section.
