It's a good question, and I'd like to know the answer too.
Does this alert correspond to a red conn, or some other test? Because I
knew that yellow conn does not correspond to a recovery, but IMHO a yellow
in any other test *should* correspond to a recovery (compared to a red).
(Of course, there may be some tests some people have where it should not, so
maybe it should be configurable somewhere... Maybe a RECOVERY= tag in the
alerts file to specify what colour should correspond to a recovery? The
existing tag is called RECOVERED.)

Subject: [hobbit] DURATION in alerts
I have an alerts file where hobbit sends out an alert to a ever-widening
group of people based on DURATION... the longer the un-ack'd duration, the
more excited it gets.
The problem comes in when something goes YELLOW for a while and then goes
RED. All the time it spent at YELLOW is included in the DURATION even
through I have a COLOR=red explicitly given in the config file.
Is there a way to specify the duration as the time something has been RED as
opposed to NOT-GREEN?
Thanks,
Jon
