Alerting

How to instruct Splunk Ent. to ignore sending alerts about missing Forwarders?

During my health checks I usually get a list of missing forwarders, I have found that these forwarders were on a few de-commissioned servers that are no longer around. But Splunk repeats the missing FWs. How do I tell it to ignore certain FWs reporting
