Failed paths are handled quite gracefully in all grouping policies.

That said, other stock grouping policies are at your disposal :
group_by_serial or group_by_node_name or the special group_by_prio that
let you do your own grouping policy with callouts (shell scripts or
whatever).

Please have a look at the documentation available.
