Yep - but as far as I can figure, this is for a particular event.  Hoping for a 
more generic solution - maybe it will need to be from our alarming system...

This weekend we had a couple of thousand wireless alarms, last month we had 
thousands of OSPF alarms, before that it was link down, etc.  Want to prevent 
the flood that we won't know about beforehand - maybe in the next Spectrum 
release it will turn on some new trap...

Have you tried using the event counter rule?

Subject: [spectrum] Flapping Rules

Hi all,

We have some customised flapping rules that we have rolled out in the
past, and there are some of the box flapping rules, but we are
constantly getting burnt by some new type of event that is flapping.
(today it is wireless controllers)

Does anyone use a more generalised flapping rule?  Eg. if the same alarm
has been generated 15 times on one device in the last hour, it is
considered a flapping alarm.

We use AlarmNotifier to integrate with Omnibus.   Of course the devices
should stop sending the traps, but that is another issue.   Hoping to
deal with it closer to the source (Spectrum), but to add a new flapping
for any type of alarm is too many changes.

Appreciate any ideas,  Thanks.
