Question about freed servers

I'm getting rid of old servers, so I don't need monitoring them anymore.
Which is the best way of keeping old data (for report availability and
graphing purposes)?

I thought about 2 hypotesis:
1 - removing the servers from bb-hosts
2 - removing the checks of every server in bb-hosts

Will I loose old data in these ways?

Delete the entry for bb-hosts.   I do not believe this will get rid of
any *DATA*, for that you must explicitly do the "bb drop" command for
each host, if you want to remove the data.

If you want those hosts to still show up in hobbit, you will have to
leave them defined, but then I'd recommend permanently "disabling" all
of the tests, permanently.
