Hi could you please help me figure out on how to store device status (active/inactive) in such a way that, i can show a trend on how many device were active or inactive at a particular timeframe.

Thanks in advance

Probably say something like:

metric name: device_status
tags:
- hostname: <hostname>
value: 0/1 (for active/inactive)

Then querying the TSD without the tag will give you a count of active hosts.
