Hi @Pauciloquent ,
As far as I know there's no way to predict when a SCOM agent will become grayed out. You can of course predict if the agent is using certificates which are going to expire at a certain time, or if your organisation has a planned maintenance which you know may cause agents to become either Critical or grayed out.
