Hi All

Thanks for the info. We found that by default the acknowledgement is sticky.  
Not a best practice OTS as the documentation leads one to believe that the 
default behavior is NOT sticky.  

Learning the hard way is an understatement as I work for a Cloud provider and 
this could have been a disaster of disastrous proportions.  Did I say 
disaster???  We've set the default to not sticky and I removed all my acks.  
Almost missed the ones that already moved into critical.  We act on critical on 
these so it was an attempt to clear unhandled warnings of these, as it is 
essentially noise based on when we act.

I really think the default should be as the documentation says, which is that 
it is removed on status change.

Thanks again.
