Is there a way to disable flapping for every node?

Negative. I tried that first, when I went to the GUI and it still states that flapping is ENABLED on all nodes.

That is the config value, if you have it enabled by clicking enable in the UI, you would need to disable through the UI because a runtime setting takes precedence and you are retaining state across restarts.
Once you disable form "Performance Info" click "Disable flap detection" it will be off globally

Thank you, that makes since. We have thousands of nodes that over the years flapping has been enabled via the GUI. Is there a way to disable it problematically (script)?

I just added a for loop to those scripts and was able to disable flapping on the nodes and services that I needed. This was absolutely perfect.
Thank you!
