Use the "badTEST" setting in bb-hosts (see the man-page). This delays
a yellow or red status from appearing until it has stayed yellow (or
red) for a number of test cycles. So you could use this to suppress the
yellow status until it had been yellow for some time, so when it does
turn yellow you know this is something you have to handle.

Or if your custom test reported a "red" status, you could make it go
yellow for the first 5 test cycles, and red after that.
