alerting flakey

[Ezra Radoff]

No, but I'm thinking now that it's always sending warnings and never sending criticals.
It's not flapping. We had a server down for hours.
It wasn't sending the warnings because it only does it after four. I think that part has been consistant.
In the service def it looks like all four states are configured for sending alerts. I don't get it.

It's not because the hosts or services are flapping is it?
