Temp disable a device in rancid

We’ve moved our data center network to a new set of up addresses and I havdd Ed a couple devices sending out alerts they are unavailable.
I thought I had bookmarked a site that talked about suspending the alerts but can’t find it.
Anyone have a link to how to disable the warning messages?

In your router.db file mark them as down

FWIW, anything other than 'up' is considered 'down'; meaning that you can
mark these devies with some other tag, such as "temporarily_disabled".

A trailing field may also exist, such as:
hostname;type;down;disabled for maintenance PR# nnnn
