There are two methods, depending on what you want. If you just want
to temporarily stop paging (and signal that to others) you can
acknowledge the alert. The details are in section 4.4 of the on-line
manual.

If you want to ignore the test status for a period of time instead,
you can "disable" it using the method in section 4.10 of the manual.
This is more often used in situations where you need to take a
particular machine off-line or there is a test that will fail
predictably as a result of normal activity.

Cheers, Phil.
