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!
