Remove purple without dropping host

[Rolf Schrittenlocher]

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
