Hi

I am using the Hobbit alert service to send alerts via Email if
something is becoming red. Mostly I also get the recovered message if
the test becomes green again.
But if the test becomes first yellow and then green, no recovery
message is sent. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong?


If you are not the intended addressee, please inform us immediately
that you have received this e-mail in error, and delete it. We thank
you for your cooperation.
Ah, this again... :-)

This is a known problem with the alert mechanism.  I posted an analysis
of why (I believe) it happens in this mailing list message:

Unfortunately, there appears to be no way in current state to work
around the problem.
