OK.

It seems that when I acknowledge a red/yellow alert, the trend chart is 
not updated during the acknowledgment time period, but resumes after the 
time period is over (without using any of the data that would've been 
collected during that time).  Is that also expected?

Also, how can I unacknowledge a host, if I fix a problem before the time 
that I estimated it would take?

OK, that explains why I couldn't find anything about it in the docs.

:)  Sounds good.
