The only alarms generated are ones you configure yourself. Exclude these devices from any reachability alerts, and then this will behave as you expect.

I've got a small (is it?!) feature request: A toggle switch "Intermittent" or "Intermittently connected" for every device to be able to select it to indicate the alerting system that it is normal for this device to go away and come back frequently, no need to issue alarms for this, but any other alarm should be run as usual.
The rationale for this is we have lots of user devices (PC's, printers, what-else), these are switched on-off at users will so Observium shouldn't alert us about that (maybe the usual grey marking on the name as for ignore) but there are some parameters that are important to monitor (like hard disk usage, toner level) and which should have their alarms working. This way the currently available option "Device ignore" will not work, as it will disable the alarms altogether.
Is this sane/easy enough to be included sometimes in the future? Are there already plans for this?
