"enable_flap_detection=0" - Not Working?

[rkane]

So I've added this flag to my nagios.conf file and restarted the system. It is still running flap detection, thoughts?

If you make a change the configuration, it is best to:

1. Verify the configuration

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

2. If there are no configuration errors, restart the nagios service by running the following command on the Nagios XI server:

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

If you are still having trouble, there could be a permissions or ab issue with the sudoers settings. In order to reset the permissions, run the following command from the command line:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reset_config_perms.sh

Do you have it enabled in the UI? Go to Admin > System Information > Monitoring Engine Status and make sure that Flap Detection is disabled.

1. Verify the configuration: check, no issues found
2. Restart the service: check, it had already been done but did it again for good measure
3. Reset permissions: check, went ahead and did this for good measure too

Will monitor for a few days and see if that resolves it. Appreciate the help.

Negative, was looking for that setting in the UI...thanks! I'll flip it to off here if the other fix doesn't work. It was my impression that putting that flag in the config file is the ultimate overriding setting (over a UI setting).

Think of the settings in the UI as the running configuration, they will take priority over what is in the nagios.cfg file if they differ.

Appreciate it, thank you!
I've set the setting here - will report back if it doesn't work for some reason.

Sounds good
