I tried it now, and ack'ing a purple status seems to work ok. I'll see
if it stops sending me alerts.

Ack'ing should not have any influence on whether data is collected or
not. What matters is if there are any updates - if the host is down,
you obviously won't be getting any new reports, and then the graphs
won't update.

You cannot, but the acknowledge should clear automatically as soon as
an OK status arrives.
