Flap detection makes folks look at things that they might have missed.
It's driving the NOC folks **nuts** though. Acking the reds should stop them from paging, but the main page then stays red for a full half hour, even though the problem is completely fixed.
(it would be even MORE useful to have a release button that only some folks could push...is there any seekrit workaround?)
In our case we have a bit of a cascade situation, where one server can trigger a lot of secondary reds, so we end up looking at a whole lot of red...
Have you explored the depends tag at all? It might help reduce or eliminate the cascade effect. You can read about it in the hosts.cfg manpage.
