Thank you but actually i still don't understand.

If for example service x on host y is changing states every 2 minutes,
what value should i apply to this flapping_threshold ?
literally like what's the syntax :
flapping_threshold = 60 /* this means 60%? of what ? */
or is it
flapping_threshold = 60% ?

There's people who understand better when seeing actual configs, but i
also need to understand what these things do.
So does anyone have an actual implemented example and could elaborate a
bit as to how these values are calculated and what they actually mean ?
