Good question.

The answer is that the DURATION setting is measured as the time that the
status has been one color - so it has to be either yellow or red for more
than 15 minutes. If it switches color between red and yellow at
intervals shorter than 15 minutes, the alert will not trigger.

The reason why I wrote that this was a "good question" is because it
made me wonder if this is really how it *should* be. I am not sure what
the right answer to that question is.
