Flapping Configuration and Notification

[brdr]

Hi,

We use XI 2014R2.7

We would like to enable flapping but suppress flapping notification. Suppressing it, we simply uncheck the 'f' in the notification option of the Service. That i get. Question, we want to configure flapping with low threshold. What would you recommend setting low and high threshold globally in this case?

Thanks

These settings are in the main nagios config file (/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg). You can modify them and restart nagios.

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

Here's more info on flapping:

As far as values, that is really hard to answer as it depends greatly on your personal taste. Some people don't like any flapping, others are okay with it.
