Proposed title of this feature request

[RFE] Create Report Template to list inactive hosts

What is the nature and description of the request?

Create a report template to identify Hosts that aren't checking in, so they can be cleaned out of the enviornment.  (Additionally provide a means to flag certain hosts for special do-not-delete use case).

Why do the users need this? (List the business requirements here)

In very large environments, tracking down inactive hosts can be problematic.  Attempts to api/hammer search on the entire list of hosts take a prohibitively long time.

How would the user like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

Ideally the report template could list all the hosts on the system and the last_checkin value with the abiltity in the template to specify a minimum of time to display (i.e.  Greater than 1 day, or greater than <n> hours, etc).  Additionally, if a host parameter could be specified in the template to be included as well, the host parameter could be used to identify servers that are not checking in, but should not be deleted for specific edge case scenarios.
