If you use separate rules for yellow and red alerts, say a
hobbit-alerts.cfg that looked something like:

HOST a_host:
	MAIL user-7f377ba79fba@xymon.invalid COLOR=red DELAY=0 REPEAT=30m RECOVERED
	MAIL user-7f377ba79fba@xymon.invalid COLOR=yellow DELAY=0 REPEAT=30m RECOVERED

would you then get a separate email when the condition turned red at
22:45 below?

Thanks,

I've been trying to re-create this problem, but I do get the alerts
I  expect to get.

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.
