No on 1, yes on 2.
The color used for Acknowledged is set in /usr/OV/app-defaults/OVw.
I usually set it to ForestGreen, since DarkGreen is so close to LimeGreen.
The purpose of Acknowledge is specifically to NOT propogate, and there
is no way that I have ever heard of to change that. What I do to keep a
grip on what problems I have hidden with Aknowledge is keep a Collection
of marginal or critical nodes, and a Collection of critical interfaces. If
you
look at the problem nodes collection you will see that the ones for which
you have acknowledged the critical interfaces will be green, although their
IP Status is still marginal or critical. The interface collection will be a
mix
of red and whatever color you chose for Ack.
So what is with Gray? Are you planning for known problems to be invisible
on the map? That would be great for when management walks by... too bad
it won't propagate, eh?

Hi All,
Do you know if there is a way to customize the color propagation on the
NetView map such that DARK GREEN (a device somewhere in the map with
acknowledged status) can propagates its way up to the the root map? That
way
one can track the status of known and acknowledged problem devices.
Also, is there a way to customize the color, say, an acknowledged device
will show itself in GRAY instead of DARK GREEN?
Your advice in this is highly appreciated.
Rgds,
Lawrence
