I'll drop it to 25 mins and that should fix it.

I am wondering if the problem is that sometimes this isn't getting its
data in before the alterer tries to pick the data up so the data is
slightly over  30 minutes old and so causes the alerts to be sent
out.
Yep, that is it. Network tests have a lifetime of 30 minutes before
they go purple, so if you only run the network tests with 30 minute
intervals, there are bound to be some occasions where the network
tests fails to update the status before the go-purple triggers.

Just don't set the interval that high - problem fixed.
