The colour schemes make a difference between "OK" and "Normal" Status. This makes sense, as it shows you: a test failed, but it will not trigger an alert yet.
We continuously use a report (compact html) that shows all failed tests in a table. It does not show tests with status normal as it is not possible to differentiate between normal and OK in the reports
WISH: A checkbox in the Report profiles dialog (section 'status filter') to filter items with normal status.
Is this possible? If yes, thanks a lot in advance.

Actually we added Warning status for this purpose. We suggest to use Normal status for not-failed test items.The colour schemes make a difference between "OK" and "Normal" Status. This makes sense, as it shows you: a test failed, but it will not trigger an alert yet.
Why you do not use Warning status? You are using Warning status for different purpose?

We use normal for the first two failed tests and warning/bad depending on the "severity" of the failure.
Example: Disk space test is performed every hour. Several processes like creating a disk dump temporarily assign nearly all disk space available. That's why the first two failed tests are "normal". If low disk space persists, 15%-5% will cause a "Warning" and <5% a "Bad".
Nevertheless it wold be helpful to see the "normal" tests in the report mentioned before.
