Hi,

Is there any way to have the page color go back to green when a yellow / 
red / purple is acknowledged?

Or will the page color always and forever reflect the worst color 
(purple -> yellow -> red) on the page?

This isn't something currently there, but I could see adding it in in the
future as an option or toggle.

For the moment, the distinction here between one Ack'd and one a
page-viewer "doesn't need to care about" would be achieved by sending a
"Disabled until OK" message, which sets the color to the non-alerting
Blue.

That would be nice to have.  :-)

Yep, that's what we've been doing.

But I figured I'd stop and ask instead of doing the same thing has always been done out of ignorance.

I should clarify that I was referring to the individual status pages for a
host (pulled live via svcstatus.cgi, or a static HTML generation if
enabled).

If you want to prevent an entire *page* from reflecting the worst status
if that status has been acked, you can pass the --nopropack=* option to
xymongen in your tasks.cfg entry.
