What I need to check on this host?
Flapping is some built in logic to Nagios that prevents a barrage of notifications of hosts/services up and down messages. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/flapping.html So if a host keeps coming up, and then down, and then up, and then down, notfications are suppressed to prevent a load of messages. You can disable this feature if you want globally by setting in the nagios.cfg file. enable_flap_detection={0,1} A lot of times, if a host is flapping, it might not be the actual host that has a problem, perhaps it's a switch, or some other piece of equipment in between. It does have its uses.
