Remove purple without dropping host

Hi all,

our servers are reporting to hobbit using virtual hostnames. For some reasons not all names report all the time. So once a host is not sending information, hobbit turns this test or host to "purple". Up to now I always dropped the host/test then, but so all historical information gets lost. Normal disable is no option as we nether know how long a hostname want be used (it may be a long time). Is there a way of turnijng of purple/disabling a host permanently without loosing its data?

Thanks Rolf
