So you'll now get an alert when it goes yellow, and another
when it goes red (if your configuration includes alerts for
these colors, obviously).
That sounds like it should fix my problem perfectly.
I think the new code strikes a sensible balance between getting
the necessary alerts and not being flooded with them. The current
version works the way it does because I did not want to be
flooded with alerts by a state that kept on changing between
yellow and red - eg. a disk that is filled just about the
limit between the warning and panic levels. The new code will
give you that one extra alert telling you that the situation
is critical, but once it has done that it will obey the
REPEAT setting and only send you an alert every 30 minutes
(or whatever your REPEAT interval is).
I like it, if we get a page and don't fix whatever is wrong so it goes
back to a "green" state we should be flogged anyway. I'll be sure to grab
the next version as soon as it's available.
