how to turn off visibility alerts?

a bunch of (sub)- prefixes are beacons which are announced and withdrawn. how can i suppress visibility alerts for them?

Hi Randy, for now you cannot suppress only a specific kind of monitoring (e.g. the visibility one) on a prefix. But you can suppress all of them by setting ignore:true on the sub-prefixes (so you monitor the prefix and suppress the specific sub-prefix). Indeed this is a great limitation I will fix asap. Thanks for reporting this use case.

hi massimo. i suspect few folk have beacons, so is likely not a widespread use case. we just happen to have a project going with a lot of them. i muted the slack channel :)

Hi Randy, this should be done. Documented here. For now it's available only if you run the source code. The binaries will come soon.
