Yes it shows red even though it's up but flapping. (network issues).
If it see's green I need it to clear the red and not pretend to be red
because it's flapping.

I just need to turn off flapping.  this was never a problem before 4.3.

I need to get rid of these alerts:

==
Xymon [185714] host1.domain.com :ssh CRITICAL (RED)
Service ssh on web1-stage-religare is OK (up)
==

Why am I getting RED alerts if the statis is OK (up) during one of
these 'flapping' instances?

xymon version is 4.3.5.

Our host sometimes has issues and xymon starts spamming all kinds of
flapping messages.
I only need alerts if the host is not responding to a certain service and
not if it flaps.

I have found:
http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/manpages/man8/xymond.8.html
"Track the N latest status-changes for flap-detection. See the
--flap-seconds option also. To disable flap-checks, set N to zero. Default:
5 "
where in the config do I put this?
