Understood. I'm treating this as "something I found on a mailing list that I'm going to try and see if it helps". Emphasis on "I" and "try". Meaning that I'm responsible for any side effects, not you. ;-)
I suspect you should look at the values of:
ALERTCOLORS : Comma-separated list of the colors that may trigger an alert-message. The default is "red,yellow,purple".
OKCOLORS : Comma-separated list of the colors that may trigger a recovery-message. The default is "green,clear,blue"
...as defined in your xymonserver.cfg (and I've quoted from man xymonserver.cfg). Taking blue out of OKCOLORS and adding it to ALERTCOLORS is probably required for what you want (and then restart xymond), but that might also have unexpected effects on your other rules in alerts.cfg unless you've been careful to always specify a COLOR on those.
I think I understand.
It sounds like I want to try treating BLUE as a color that should alert / have reminders sent out about.
As such, changing from alert able BLUE to non-alert able GREEN should cause a recovered email to be sent.
Thank you Adam, that is both something specific to read up on and what I was asking for. :-)
