device_status_boxes is legacy and not really intended to be used these days.

But the original intention of that module was to show all devices which had rebooted in the past 24 hours, and all ports which are down but not disabled.

There was no ability to "acknowledge" a status, since this module pre-dates this sort of configurability (and down-but-not-disabled ports are not something anyone should have in any great number)

But now that module is deprecated, so... :)

When I first discovered and polled these particular switches (cisco and edgeswitch) the Ports that were down were not showing up on the device_status_boxes. Which is what I expected.

But today the equipment at that site was power cycled when we switched over to generator backup while the electricians hooked up the new auto switch over equipment for the new permanent backup generator.

Since then device_status_boxes shows all the down ports and that the devices rebooted.

So they will not go away. Other software I used in the past had a mechanism to acknowledge them and they would go away. I can find no such mechanism here to clear these unused ports etc.

It has almost eight hours and they are still there 

What am I doing wrong?
