I guess you mean gaps in other graphs, you'd expect to see gaps in the
graphs of the downed device.

That would be the "Main Interface" attribute for a host. Set that to
reachability interface (which does the pings) and if that is down then
everything else it won't bother with. A loopback interface may be useful
for this too.

Or at least set it to something, anything! It means for a particular
host the poller will only try the DMII and if that fails won't bother
with anything else.

It's a real good idea for anyone if you have a large number of devices
to use DMII.
