[hobbit] Alert Config.

[Josh Luthman]

While we're on the subject of alert configuration, could someone confirm
mine?

HOST=*
  MAIL josh at imaginenetworksllc.com COLOR=RED DURATION>15m RECOVERED

It will only email once something has been red for 15m and it will email
once it has become green again - correct?
