SOFT service up behavior between 4.3.4 to 4.4.1

[void64]

Upgraded from 4.3.4 to 4.4.1 and started noticing we've not been getting service recovery notifications.

After researching we are seeing service recovery's enter a "SOFT" state. This has never happened before in 4.3.4. It seems to be something related with the coming feature in 5.x (enable_soft_service_recovery) ??? Did something slip not quite complete? Because now it's broken in 4.4.1 and all recovering services are now SOFT, therefore notifications are busted.

Or am I missing something?

Sort of fixed in 4.4.2 but not quite.

Now we are seeing services/hosts enter a SOFT state (warning) first time, immediately followed by a HARD up. (recovery). This causes us to see RECOVERY notifications but we never see any notification from the soft state. (which is by design).

For example:

[09-09-2018 10:58:06] SERVICE ALERT: asco-pq.alb2;NORMAL_VCA;OK;HARD;1;SNMP OK - 5050 VAC
Service Warning
[09-09-2018 10:57:06] SERVICE ALERT: asco-pq.alb2;NORMAL_VCA;WARNING;SOFT;1;SNMP WARNING - *5057* VAC
Service Ok
[09-09-2018 10:53:06] SERVICE ALERT: asco-pq.alb2;NORMAL_VCA;OK;HARD;1;SNMP OK - 5047 VAC
Service Warning
[09-09-2018 10:52:06] SERVICE ALERT: asco-pq.alb2;NORMAL_VCA;WARNING;SOFT;1;SNMP WARNING - *5052* VAC



We get a warning which is a SOFT state, no notification. Ok...

When service recovers from SOFT state, we're getting a HARD recovery; w/ notification. (not ok)
