I am not sure I understand the question - are you saying that
Xymon does not generate the notifications you expect it to ?

Provided you have alerts setup on a yellow status, and there is not
a DURATION parameter that delays the alert, then you should get an
alert on each of the transitions to yellow.

("clear" is not an alerting color - only yellow, red and purple are).

The only "minimum time" Xymon has in relation to alerts, is the
DURATION parameter that you specify in alerts.cfg (hobbit-alerts.cfg
in older versions).
