SET_SVC_NOTIFICATION_NUMBER

Command Format:

SET_SVC_NOTIFICATION_NUMBER;<host_name>;<service_description>;<notification_number>

Description:

Sets the current notification number for a particular service. A value of 0 indicates that no notification has yet been sent for the current service problem. Useful for forcing an escalation (based on notification number) or replicating notification information in redundant monitoring environments. Notification numbers greater than zero have no noticeable affect on the notification process if the service is currently in an OK state.
