Maybe OT: Nagios and HelpDesk Systems

We do this, and it's pretty simple with our helpdesk system, Cerberus.

We have escalations setup so that after N notifications for specific
servieces, we automatically send an email to the helpdesk ticket
email-gateway. The reply-to address is set so that it goes to /dev/null on
the monitoring system.

It was trivial to setup and deal with. I'd think any of the ticketing
systems (RT, Kayako, Cerberus, etc) that can handle ticket creation via
email could implement something like this quite easily.
