Hi Darren,

Repeat after me: There is no alerting in Observium!

;-)

What we're actually trying to say is:

- We don't support the current alerting code really, although we do
accept decent patches to it; if it acts weird, we can only recommend you
to disable alerting

- Don't count on it alerting you to all problems, so make sure you have
something else also monitoring your infrastructure

- Don't be surprised if it alerts you to nonexistent problems

If it works for you, very well, it can only get better once "decent"
code is implemented.
