When looking at a time segment, if there are no data-points it doesn't visualize it. For example, 10 sensors, 1 sensor stopped reporting a week ago, if I only look at 1 day increments, Kibana doesn't know how to visualize no data for sensors that are considered "Active" but haven't posted data. Is there a way to have a reference of what should be on the dashboard and handle no data correctly?

Visualizations display aggregated results from documents in Elasticsearch. A visualization can not display anything if no documents exist in Elasticsearch.
You could solve this problem in a couple of ways
Set up a Watch to be notified when data stops flowing.
Set up an external process that inserts a document into Elasticsearch when a sensor stops reporting. Your visualizations could then display these "no data" documents.
