think you have enabled retention in your nagios.cfg. Nagios does not only save
the state of a service but also everything that you can enable or disable in the
web-interface. With "retain_nonstatus_information 0/1" in your service
definition or service template you can control whether Nagios takes the
nonstatus info from the retention data (retain_nonstatus_information 1) or the
service configuration (retain_nonstatus_information 0).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

have enabled flap detection for all host and service in the main configuration

added the flap_detection_enabled 0 in my service definition, but when I
