SSH, FTP flutter

[Richard Galvez]

To elaborate on the issue and update my current progress:

I enabled flap detection and now get a threshold parameter for every
host, as well as a percentage that I read about in the doc. My issue is
however, that I need to set up the flap detection for the "service" not
for the host. Any ideas?
