No clear on particular column

Can I set just one particular test to never go clear ?

I have devmon polling L2 switches and have a column that called "inventory" which lists current device type, code level, serial numbers...etc...

This works great and is fine when the device is up, but if it goes down, the question comes up...what code ver was on that one ? 

I can dig it out of the hist logs, but it would be nice if that test only stayed green with whatever the last successful poll was.

noclear may work. man hosts.cfg

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

I did try that without success before, but I think its for all tests ?

I have the following syntax for my host:

10.1.2.3  somename  # testip snmp noclear

(Note, my devmon tag is "snmp")

All my tests still show clear...
