Besides using the 'check_dummy' plugin, how about setting up a dummy
"Not Notified" group?
Or set escalations to a huge value.
(my 2 cents)

These boxes are rebooted or are otherwise inaccessible at various time during the day due to numerous reasons. Is it possible to reclassify an unreachable or down state as nothing more than a simple warning at most or ideally not show up at all on the tactical overview? I do not want to get paged, nor do I want the web interface to send out any time of audible alert. Like I said before we do not care if these machines go offline. I wouldn't mind them showing up red in the status map. Other than that I want them to run silent. Scheduling downtime as needed for these hosts isn't an option. I also don't want to simply disable notifications for these hosts (what I'm currently doing). Having 2 dozen hosts' notifications listed as disabled prompts too many questions as to why they're disabled and causes too many people to be concerned. Is there a way to achieve this desired result without not monitoring these hosts at all and removing them from the config?
