[hobbit] stale alerts

[Gary Baluha]

Yes, the alert history shows it went yellow and then 5 minutes later
recovered.  The web page is showing everything correct.  However, when
I check the notifications.log file, I can see that it was still
sending alerts about it being yellow, even though it was definitely
green.
