How is this flapping?

How is that considered flapping? I am guessing I need to change the defaults for flap detection, just didn't think the defaults would make something like this be detected as flapping.

Edit: If I dont set the percentage anywhere I then need to change these, right:

Code: Select all

high_host_flap_threshold=20.0
high_service_flap_threshold=20.0
low_host_flap_threshold=5.0
low_service_flap_threshold=5.0

The "PRODEBS - Invalid Objects" service changed state 7 times, so you have:

(7 observed state changes / possible 20 state changes) * 100 = 35 %

This is above the threshold... and it is exactly how it is described in the documentation:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... pping.html

Even the numbers match.

Yeah. I changed the defaults in nagios.cfg and looks as though I have my flapping concerns taken care of. Feel free to lock her up!
