Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

For few services/host, Nagios has logged below comment in server around 24hrs before:

"Notifications for this host are being suppressed because it was detected as having been flapping between different states (20.3% change > 20.0% threshold). When the host state stabilizes and the flapping stops, notifications will be re-enabled."

The service/host is still in constant critical state due to some network issue. So the flapping has stopped refer the attached graph screenshot. Still the notifications are disabled for both host and services.

Below is the host configuration:
define host {
host_name hostname
use xiwizard_windowsserver_host
address IP
max_check_attempts 16
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
check_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
contacts 24x7,nagiosadmin,rsin,snowprod,windowsdl
notification_interval 480
notification_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notifications_enabled 1
icon_image win_server.png
statusmap_image win_server.png
_xiwizard windowsserver
register 1
}

and this is the service configuration:

define service {
host_name hostname
service_description CPU Usage
use xiwizard_windowsserver_nsclient_service
check_command check_xi_service_nsclient!Password7!CPULOAD!-l 5,85,95!!!!!
max_check_attempts 16
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
check_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notification_interval 480
notification_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notifications_enabled 1
contacts 24x7,nagiosadmin,snowprod,windowsdl
_xiwizard windowsserver
register 1
}

Kindly suggest us what could be the issue.

Your notification interval is every 480 minutes which is 8 hours.

Looking at the graph, it doesn't look like 8 hours had passed yet before you took the screenshot.

Did the notifications start?
