When notifications result in a error, for example because of a broken mail script, icinga does not 'notify' or change the state of the service. You'd never know until you notice missing mails or errors in the logs. It would be great if the service/host status of the affected service to to enter a 'unable to notify state' to show there is a problem.

Example log:

[2015-07-28 08:56:01 +0200] warning/PluginNotificationTask: Notification command for object 'HOST!SERVICE' (PID: 5527, arguments: '/etc/icinga2/scripts/mail-service-notification.sh') terminated with exit code 127, output: /etc/icinga2/scripts/mail-service-notification.sh: line 26: mail: command not found
/usr/bin/printf: write error: Broken pipe

• Subject changed from Handle notification errors to Add last_notification_result for Notification class
• Description updated
• Category set to libicinga
• Target Version set to Backlog

One idea we have come up with is to add a new field to the Notification class: last_notification_result.
This field would contain the exit status and output of the last notification attempt similar to last_check_result for hosts and services.

Unfortunately this can't be stored on the notification object itself but for every 1..n user notification. We'll consider a different debug option.
