Oh what fun you're going to have!
in bbvar/hist are 2 types of log files
hostname - this contains all state changes for all tests
hostname.services - this contains the date/time color and durations of 
state changes for a particular test

Unless you want to figure out epoch timestamps and recalculate durations, 
I don't recommend diddling with these files, especially by hand. Someone 
may want to volunteer and write a script for editing those files.
