Have you looked at "admin > enable|disable"?
If you have a 'red' alert, you can disable the test for a periodic
amount of time or until it's resolved.  The failed test will change
from red to blue but the top level colour changes back to green.

I think this satisfies both of your requests (but I only quoted the
first one for brevity)
