I've got a handful of services I want to know when they start/stop
flapping in addition to being in a down/up state. I've enabled flapping
detection on the service, and enabled flapping on my contact profile.
However, while I'm getting FLAPPINGSTART notifications, I'm not getting
a FLAPPINGSTOP when it stops flapping.

I've looked into the nagios configurations generated by Opsview for the
service and the notification methods.  The service has the notification
options defined correctly:

        notification_options    c,f,r,w

And the appropriate notification method is defined correctly:

        host_notification_commands      notify-by-email
        host_notification_options       d,r,f
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        service_notification_options    c,r,f

If I understand Opsview correctly, it doesn't interfere with nagios once
it's configured -- the nagios daemon just runs and sends out
notifications itself. Opsview just provides the notify_by_email script
that nagios runs to pipe the email into /usr/bin/Mail.

The nagios documentation says that all that's needed for
FLAPPINGSTART/FLAPPINGSTOP messages to be generated is to set 'f' to the
options in the host/service/contact definitions. Apparently I shouldn't
be able to get one without the other.

So obviously something's going wrong. Has anyone else encountered this?
Where should I be looking at logs to figure out why I'm not getting the
flapping state end notifications?

Thanks in advance.
