This is a known problem with the alert mechanism. I posted an analysis of why (I believe) it happens in this mailing list message: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/07/msg00132.html
Unfortunately, there appears to be no way in current state to work around the problem. -Alan

We had the same problem. We “solved” it by changing yellow to an “OK color” in hobbitserver.cfg, so now it sends out recovered when it goes from red to yellow. But if you have alerts on yellow, you probably don’t want to do that.

I've noticed that if I have a situation where I have red alert that turns yellow before finally returning to green that no recovery messages are being sent. Alert notifications are only being sent on reds, not yellow. I suspect that when the red turns to a yellow that Hobbit is "forgetting" that it sent out the notification when it turned red since it is not sending them out on yellows. Does anybody out there know how to fix this?
