My operations team would like to ack a yellow alert but would like that ack (check mark) to go away if it escalates to a red alert so it can be seen as a new event from "All non green view" As it is today if they ack a yellow alert for 24 hours that yellow ack'd alert could go back and forth from yellow to red and it would go unnoticed.

So  I edit the (OKCOLORS="green,blue,clear") in the xymonserver.cfg to look like

OKCOLORS="green,blue,clear,red"

I restart xymon but that didn't work same behavior as the default setting.

Changing it to

OKCOLORS="green,blue,clear,yellow"

Now the above change will clear the ACK going from a red to a yellow but that's not what I was looking for. I need to clear the ACK going from a yellow to a red alert.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

Thanks I have looked but cant seem to find the answer to this one
