Excuse top-posting, it's my hardware.

Disabling "Until OK" would disable only until the next green state.

&gt; I don't know much about flapping, but what happens if you manually send a

&gt; 'green' status for the flapping service?

&gt; On the Xymon server:

&gt; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; bb localhost "status server,domain,com.column green `date`


I will try this the next time we get a flap, thanks! That would be a

good seekrit


&gt; Did you try going to the Enable/Disable page and disabling the red things

&gt; with "Until OK" selected?? &nbsp;That would make the red dot go away until after


We don't want to disable them, because what if they go down again? Not

unlikely with a previously flapping service.

Can't have a half-hour window with no monitoring of vital services


thanks Betsy
