Sorry, thought I was clear in the original email. For the example test/alert scenario (the disk test), I need to be alerted when the disk goes red. Only. This is why I specified "COLOR=red" in the head line of the alert configuration.
There are other tests I would need to have an alert sent (a warning) if the test goes yellow. Hence the ALERTCOLORS setting including yellow.
For the test I showed, I need an alert on red. But I need a recovery page when it becomes non-red. I can't get that when it goes from red to yellow or even finally green. If it goes directly from red to greeen, I get the recovery page.
It's the recovery page problem I need advice about.

Hi Alan,
I think there is some confusion because in your first email you said:
I've read the sections on ALERTCOLORS and OKCOLORS. It does work
better
when I remove yellow from the list. But I need to sometimes alert on yellow status, so this is not really an option.
But here you state:
red->yellow->green. If I use only the COLOR=red,yellow, I'm goind to get alerted on a yellow disk (undesired).
So we need to understand more clearly when you want to be alerted on red
and yellow and when you don't.
