I can't comment on your alerts config, as I rarely use them, so I'm not familiar with the syntax.
The (R) and (S) are alert codes. R means "recovered" and S means "stopped" (matched a STOP rule).
I couldn't find the details in any documentation, but the source code reveals all! There are other codes, and they would be listed in a code string (not necessarily just a single character) separated by commas, within the parentheses. Here's what the code says:
A = no alerts R = recovered (alert has recovered from an alert state) N = notice (matches NOTICE rule because message is a "notify" message) S = stoprule (matches a rule with a STOP recipient) U = unmatched
Hope that helps

In alerts.cfg, I have this:
HOST=* COLOR=red,purple SERVICE=msgs MAIL $ADMINMAIL HOST=* COLOR=red,purple IGNORE SERVICE=msgs MAIL $ADMINMAIL RECOVERED
My goal with this is to see alerts for purple and red statuses for all tests, and then get recovery alerts for all tests except msgs. Did I do the config right for that?
I would also like to see if I can get a legend for the alerting grid in the "info" page. Here's a screenshot showing what the above config produces:

I'd like to know what "(R)" and "(S)" mean, and what the line where the email address is blue means.
Thanks, Shawn
