Have you tried running hobbitd_alert --test? What does the pertinent output show there?

Subject: [Xymon] false alert
Hi,
This night, one of the http checks was red for 30 seconds:
Date Status Duration
Fri Feb 25 03:02:55 2011 blue 0:01:18
Mon Feb 28 00:18:02 2011 green 2:44:04
Mon Feb 28 00:17:32 2011 red 0:00:30
However, from the notifications.log:
Mon Feb 28 00:31:11 2011 servern.http (0.0.0.0) FORMAT=TEXT 1298849440 600
Relevant part of the hobbit-alerts.cfg:
HOST=*
SCRIPT my_script.pl FORMAT=TEXT RECOVERED REPEAT=1440 DURATION>10
This is on a Xymon 4.2.3 server.
I also don't see a recover message from this alert in notifications.log.
Is this a bug?
Stef
