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. -----Original Message----- From: nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net on behalf of Jim Avery Sent: Wed 3/7/2007 2:48 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] alerting flakey On 07/03/07, Ezra Radoff <ezra@iskoot.com> wrote: > hello.

It's not because the hosts or services are flapping is it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
