Clients need to know "pagelevels" _too_ or just the clients need to know... 
(if the server is not also the client) ?

Yes, you're right. I did use the pagerecovered token and the the pagetype: 
EVENT...
Even for a "red" alarm, BB is sending alerts all the time... this is not
really a problem in my case, but can be for other env. I can understand the
reason for a disk usage, but for a connection (network)...

As this is not really described in details, at the end of my test I may
write a small how-to.

Regards,

Thierry.
