Thank you for your reply, but this doesn't meet my wishes ;-) As long as I disable a single test -services in my example- because one of my 20 services are "red", I do not recognize if another services also goes red...

a) In CA Unicenter you can acknowledge an red alert. After having acknowledged an red alert, this red alert changes to an orange alert, indicating that there is still a problem. The main advantage is, that any “view” on a “higher level” isn’t under red condition any longer – it becomes yellow. This means, that a new red alert coming from the same server could be recognized in a better way. This could be useful if in Xymon somebody doesn’t like the “All non green view” for any reason.
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)
