BGP (or all) routing neighbors to be manageable items within NPM

it would be great if a BGP neighbor (or all routing neighbors) could be a manageable item. i.e we can downtime it, choose or not to choose to monitor it. improved stats (flap graphs etc)

Example, I have BGP session with ISP A, and sessions with other ISP B and C on same device. ISP A has planned maintenance which will down my session but the interface will stay up. The routing neighbor alert will be triggered unless I downtime entire node. but I do not wish to downtime ISP B and C which would mean creating a custom alert per neighbor IP which would be extremely tedious if you have a large amount of neighbors

I'm sure there are many good example and reasons other people could come up with for this?
