No, it's not. This doesn't show that a notification went out, only that
a service went critical on a host that's been determined to be down.

In that case you haven't restarted Nagios since you added it, or those
other dependencies are loaded from somewhere else, or you're using a
patched version of Nagios which does something magical with your
asterisks, or you're using some config setting which fscks up the
config parsing somehow, or you're using the pre-cached config option
and aren't actually loading it from the *real* configuration.

That dependency simply is not valid in any version of Nagios, so you
*can't* be actually *using* it.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
