ACK! So, if what do we do if we want to get Emails for yellow alerts, and
pages for red alerts and not get repeat pages every x minutes? It seems
that a red alert is usually pretty important, and we want to know about it
immediately, instead of waiting until the repeat time expires (which we
set to 30d per a previous recommendation).
I would expect that a change in the state of a test would reset the REPEAT
counter.

One thing that might confuse some people: The REPEAT setting counts
"across colors". E.g. if you have REPEAT=30 (the default, 30 minutes
between alerts), and the sequence of events goes like
22:05 Test goes yellow - alert (yellow) is sent
22:35 Test still yellow - repeat alert (yellow) is sent
22:45 Test goes red. No alert is sent because it is only 10 minutes
since the last alert went out.
23:05 Test still red - now an alert (red) is sent.
