Is there a mechanism through which I can dump certain host+test combinations to /dev/null ?
Remove the host from your hosts.cfg, then Xymon will ignore updates from it. Yes, it will still receive messages from it, but dropping them immediately when the hostname is not found doesn't cost much processing.
Too bad if you do want to monitor *some* elements, but dropping the host entirely from Xymon at least gives you some bargaining power towards the people who mis-manage their monitored server.
Firewalling can also be a solution, if the IP is unique.
