FLAPPING Messages

Post by aap »

Hi,

I would like to completely turn of flapping start and stop messages in XI. I have made the neccessary amendments in the generic servicetemplate settings which I use for all my services however, I still contunue to receive the notifications for flapping.

Any help is appreciated.

To completely disable flapping see this documentation: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... _detection

Please let us know if that is what you were looking for.

Doh!

I also found that I could turn it off on the Monitoring Engine Status page. Very easy. It was staring me in the face.

Many thanks. Please close this one
