Hi,

I’m opening this thread wondering if a lot of people use this feature. And how it makes them they be more efficient in their monitoring.

In our case, one of the point that prevents us to do so is the fact that this functionality forbids using the state retention. At least this is what the help popup tells :

 

Is this the case still? Is is still considered experimental nowadays?

Docs (https://docs.centreon.com/docs/23.10/alerts-notifications/notif-flapping/  (24.10 is the same)) does not say so so I don’t know what to believe. Is it an obsolete indication in the UI or an omission in the docs?
 
I found this post too, two years old, which seems to have been abandoned on a it-will-change-soon-be-patient status.
 

What’s the deal on flapping detection?

A last remark, I guess the maths are done whatever the functionality is used or not, because I can see a “Status change percentage” showing in services and hosts detail infos in the UI. Couldn’t be avoided for performance matters? Even if obviously one would lost this information then.

 
Displayed value with a 15 digits precision here is quite… ridiculous! Sure it doesn’t matter a lot, because the layout is not compact at all anyway. But it’s a tiny less easy to read the value then, and, most important, it doesn’t look professional (but this last point not is my problem directly).

Regards, and merry Christmas for the people celebrating it.
