Service definition without contacts

[Christian Schneemann]

Hi,
I have some problems defining my services respectively creating hostgroups and 
allocate servicechecks to them.
Here an example:
I want to monitor 10 database-servers. So I could create the 
hostgroup "database-servers" and put the 10 hosts in this group. Afterwards I 
assign the database-check to this group and every host in this group gets his 
database monitored. This works as expected.
But now to my problem:
Almost every host has other contacts to get informed in an emergency.

A servicedefinition requires a contactgroup in its definition, according to 
the manual.

I have removed the "contact_groups" and "contacts" from the definitions and 
nagios started.

What behaviour can I expect? Will no notification be send out because no 
contacts are definied? Or can I expect a fallback to the contacts defined in 
the host definition?

The last one would be a nice-to-have.


Grettings,
Christian
