I couldn't be more puzzled by this query.

Removing or clearing events from the event display does not alter the status on
the map at all.  The map icons stay the color they were set by ipmap when netmon
first sent the trap.  You cannot acknowledge things on the map by doing anything
in the events window (unless some has written some very sophisticated user code
in your shop).    So I am not at all clear about what you are asking.

Are you asking that ipmap NOT change things back to green/up even after netmon
has determined that they are?
Sorry but that is an impossibility in current code.   That would require a
design change so huge, I shudder to think about it
You may, of course, make your feelings known about why you want such a change,
and what benefit it would be, by sending a note to netview AT tivoli DOT com.

Subject:  Icons retaining event colour after event cleared





I am not sure if this can be done, but when a critical event occurs and is
then cleared, we would like the device icon to stay red and not change until
acknowledged. An example of this could be a device going down for a short
period, so the device icon changes to red then back to green.

Any ideas?
Thanks
