Disable Flap

Post by cesar.garza »

Hey Guys
I want to disable flap for whole nagios and found the config in template.cfg. I changed from 1 to 0 but just wondering that Nagios UI should show (Flap Detection = Red) in Service/Host state Information page but its showing Green to me.

Thanks

I believe you would want to change this in the nagios.cfg:

Code: Select all

enable_flap_detection=0
Then it should work properly, if you just change a template, it will only effect objects to which that template is assigned, and that are inheriting it's definition for flap detection.

Yes, I just noticed that there are two separate places for Host and Service to disable Flap.
Thanks for help
