It sure seems like it would be easier to change the website to query for red and purple, wouldn't it?<br></font><br> <br>

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