The way we do this is to use a user-defined macro in the host definition like so:
define host{
use aps-launcher
host_name APS-P52
parents aps52
__PARENT_HOST aps52
}
Then you can expand expand it, $_PARENT_HOST$, in the notification.
Unfortunately this means you need to define the parent in 2 places. Would be
nice if there was built-in macro for this, but I don't think there is.
