You're saying it went yellow, then green. The log tells you it sent an alert when it was yellow.
I'm not sure I'm seeing the problem here =/ It sent an alert first when it was yellow and another when it switch to green to inform you it recovered, correct?

Yes, the alert history shows it went yellow and then 5 minutes later recovered. The web page is showing everything correct. However, when I check the notifications.log file, I can see that it was still sending alerts about it being yellow, even though it was definitely green.

Click on it the host's test and click on history - was red at all?
Are the WWW pages updating? Look in the top right corner of the page once you click on the host's test link.

I noticed this morning that our Hobbit server was sending out alerts for the process check for a machine that was actually shown as green on the hobbit web page. I checked on the monitored machine, and the alert was indeed green, yet the server was still sending out emails as though it were in a yellow state. I restarted the Hobbit client on the monitored machine, and then restarted the Hobbit server on the server. After doing this, I noticed the following in the page.log file:
2007-11-14 10:26:13 Stale alert for host-name:procs dropped
(I changed the actual host name to "host-name" to protect the
innocent)
What exactly does this mean? Before I restarted the Hobbit server process, I manually edited the alert.chk temp file and removed the erroneous alert, but that didn't correct the problem. It was only after I restarted the Hobbit server process that it cleared the alert. Is this a bug in the 4.2.0 code, or is there something else going on here?
