This file contains a set of functions used to handle alerts that have a state. This kind of alerts
have, by definition, a duration associated and, thus, they can either be 'ongoing' or 'withdrawn'.

Alerts become 'ongoing' the first time they are fired, and must be explicitly 'withdrawn'
when they become unactive.
