Hi Nisha,

Can you provide your alerts.cfg? Feel free to sanitize any sensitive
information. I suspect you are matching all services like this:


HOST=* SERVICE=* COLOR=red DURATION>15m
        $ALERT_MARK


The SERVICE=* means it will match every service, which may be what
you've run into. Or perhaps you need to add a STOP so it doesn't fall
through to another rule.
