Hi All,

I know this is not the devmon list (I have sent there as well) but maybe
others have run into this issue (or what I think is an issue).

I have devmon setup and working correctly but have a situation that I don't
know how to handle. Here is the situtation:

1. A new template for monitoring a Spectracom Netclock 9283 (NTP appliance)
- I am running Hobbit 4.2.0 with all-in-one patch
2. Two branch (repeater) oids setup that go into a table for the message
3. There is 1 item in the branch of ntpTestName (GPS Antenna Sense) that I
do not want included in the message or alerting, as it is always RED
4. I added an exception entry to remove GPS Antenna Sense (AND IT WORKED)
5. PROBLEM: The status page still shows RED even though GPS Antenna Sense is
not displayed

I need this page to show GREEN and not alert on GPS Antenna Sense but don't
know how to remove that.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
