No expert here, but if they can power off at anytime, then how would Icinga distinguish a power off from a host down? You'd have to be able to monitor for power status directly at the power socket. Even then, how would you know if the power off status was intentional or not?
Tel them if they want monitoring it stays on, or as the previous person said, why bother monitoring?
