If you use separate rules for yellow and red alerts, say a hobbit-alerts.cfg that looked something like:
HOST a_host: MAIL xxxx at yyy.com COLOR=red DELAY=0 REPEAT=30m RECOVERED MAIL xxxx at yyy.com COLOR=yellow DELAY=0 REPEAT=30m RECOVERED
would you then get a separate email when the condition turned red at 22:45 below?
No, and that might be something that could change. The repeat- checking code currently identifies an alert by the combination of hostname, servicename and recipient; I could easily change that so a separate line in the config-file would result in a new set of repeat-checks.
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.
