Just edit tasks.cfg where you have the xymond entry add a line like the
highlighted one below,
[xymond]
ENVFILE /xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
CMD xymond --pidfile=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.pid \
--restart=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk
--checkpoint-file=$XYMONTMP/xymond.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 \
--log=$XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.log \
--admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$XYMONSERVERIP \
--store-clientlogs=!msgs
--flap-count=0

How do I disable flapping?
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?
