After discussing this issue at length I think the best solution would be to
have a option that is configurable to sepecify if you want the system to try
to escalate even if no one is notified. I was thinking along the lines of
adding an extra option to the notification_options for both hosts and
services.
something like:
define service{
host_name testhost
service_description testservice
...
notification_options w,u,c,r,f,x
notifications_enabled 1
}
Where the 'x' (or whatever letter we wanted) would indicate that escalate
the notifications for this service even if no one was notified. That way
all sides would be happy and you could configure the box the way you wanted.
If no one gets around to writing this or patching I will try to take a stab
at it next week,
Thanks,
