notifications sent with no alert settings

I have 3 xymon servers at different locations.. I just turned on CLock ( NTP ) tests in the analysis.cfg for some DB servers. I only have alerts for RED and purple on 1 xymon server. the other 2 have no alerts set up for this page. xymon ver 4.3.11 - I received yellow notifications from 2 different xymon servers for CPU ( CLock - NTP ) . How is that possible ?

How long does it take to transfer the client data? The last thing written is the clock time on the DB server. The Xymon server compares that timestamp to its own clock to determine drift. I've had situations where the client data took multiple seconds to be delivered, and it tripped the CPU clock-out-of-sync warning. Ralph Mitchell

Thanks Ralph. I found the problem.. It was an operator Error. These were DR servers not Production, and the alerts were set up accordingly.
