The "(R)" for a recipient means that he also gets the "Recovered"
notices.

The "(S)" means this recipient is a "Stop" recipient, i.e. you have
used the STOP keyword for this recipient. So if an alert is sent to
this recipient, none of the recipient below will get one.

Both should work. Could you try each of the configs and run 
"bbcmd hobbitd_alert --dump-config" ? That will show how your
macros are expanded.

Just FYI, the "trends" column can never trigger an alert since it is
always green. In fact, it doesn't exist as a real status as far as 
Hobbit is concerned.

That is the latest release.
