You can ack them through e-mail if that is configured, by default. The web interface just doesn't query for them.

Subject: [Xymon] Acknowledge purple?
Having recently moved from Big Brother to Xymon, one of the features I find most valuable is 'acknowledge'. It lets someone say 'yeah, I know the host has a problem' while leaving an indication of the condition on the web interface.
What I don't understand, though, is why we are not able to 'acknowledge' purple events. It seems desirable and I can't see how it would cause confusion.
I've looked in acknowledge.c, and it appears that is is explicitly querying for 'color=red,yellow'.
Is there a business case to exclude purple from the option to 'ack'?
