new test which discovers the condition and sets yellow or red depending on your
own thresholds. You would just need to query the other tests you were
concerned about via “query” option on the “bb” command
and depending what is considered flapping ( how often, how many times, it
changed status, etc.) set your new test’s status.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font face="Times New Roman" size=3><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Is it possible to make network tests report "yellow" when
flapping occurs? This would solve a problem I've been having, seems some admins
here don't think flapping is a problem. I disagree, but if I could make it
flapping a "yellow" event I think I could make everybody happy. <br>
