Hi,
Description
it's possible for flapping algorithm to flag hosts and services as starting to flap when they switch from a non-OK to OK state.
Which, from a user point of view, is rather strange, as a FLAPPINGSTART notification will be sent, with a OK state.
Would make more sense to receive a FLAPPINGSTART notification with a non-OK state.
Let's then make a host or service starting to flap only when it switches to a non-OK state.
This gives it a very last chance not to be flagged as flapping, avoiding as such unneeded notifications.
Type of change
Target serie
How this pull request can be tested ?
Enable flapping detection, make a host or service to flap, and be sure it is flagged as flapping only when it switches to a non-OK state.
Many thanks 👍
