Allow a non-reporting device to be temporarily classified as offline until it checks in again

Managed SIEM creates an escalation when a device does not report within the configured timeframe. Currently, the only way to stop repeated alerts is to mute the device, which must later be manually unmuted.
Please add an option to classify or silence a device as “Known Offline” for its current offline period. This status should automatically clear when the device checks in again, allowing a new escalation to be created the next time it goes offline. This would eliminate the ongoing process of manually muting and unmuting devices while ensuring future offline events are still detected. A permanent mute option should remain available for devices whose alerts should stay disabled until manually restored. Offline alerts cannot simply be ignored because a failure to report may indicate an agent or logging issue on a computer that is still running, rather than a computer that is intentionally offline.

Offline alerting should take into account weekends, and non-work days. If a user shuts down their computer for the weekend, we don't expect to collect any logs from it. The amount of noise from these alerts means we inadvertently ignore them and can't easily find the "real" agents with issues.

Chris Nolan, let's not forget Huntress is a company that tries to sell products designed to remove alert fatigue (here we have it, and it is not addressed; I brought it up to my account manager many times).
Something MUST be changed here!!!
