Yes, you can use "0" (zero). See the quote from the documentation below:I would like to set the "Last Notification" field in the HOST ESCALATION MANAGEMENT config to allow unlimited notifications... is there a value i can use?
Hostescalation - last notification
This directive is a number that identifies the last notification for which this escalation is effective. For instance, if you set this value to 5, this escalation will not be used if more than five notifications are sent out for the host. Setting this value to 0 means to keep using this escalation entry forever (no matter how many notifications go out).
Parameter name: last_notification
Required: yes
Yes, the notifications will temporarily stop (until the host/service changes state).Also, does alert acknowledgement stop notifications?
When a service problem is acknowledged, future notifications about problems are temporarily disabled until the service changes from its current state. If you want acknowledgement to disable notifications until the service recovers, check the 'Sticky Acknowledgement' checkbox. Contacts for this service will receive a notification about the acknowledgement, so they are aware that someone is working on the problem. Additionally, a comment will also be added to the service. Make sure to enter your name and fill in a brief description of what you are doing in the comment field. If you would like the service comment to remain once the acknowledgement is removed, check the 'Persistent Comment' checkbox. If you do not want an acknowledgement notification sent out to the appropriate contacts, uncheck the 'Send Notification' checkbox.
