[Xymon] how to disable flapping notifications?

Fri Mar 2 10:55:25 CET 2012

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
