Flapping

The Flapping feature provides a mechanism for tracking status oscillations, identifying a number of status changes for a given period and alarm family.

An alarm inherits this status when it oscillates from an alert criticality to a stable state a certain number of times over a given period.

The parameters requested when creating a flapping rule are as follows:

• The period over which oscillations are observed
• The rule application priority in ascending order
• The number of criticality oscillations to be observed before switching to the status
• The rule description
• The alarms or entities to which the rule applies (patterns)
