Hi XYmonians,

just for my understanding: Is it possible to remove one color from the
ALERTCOLORS variable in xymonserver.cfg and still trigger an alert for a
test with this color in alerts.cfg?

Background:
I want to remove 'yellow' from ALERTCOLORS since our admins only get
notified for 'red' and 'purple' alerts by our operations center.
And since I use an initial delay of 6 minutes they will also be notified
if a test is yellow for, let's say, 10 minutes and then turns red for 2
or 3 minutes.

But for some tests the "maximum" color is set to yellow since the admins
do not want to get informed about something that belongs to the
application development department. So these tests go yellow and an
email is triggered for the test and sent to our developers.

Thanks
Torsten
