Manually delete entities you don't want to analyze in ITE Work
When you stop data collection for a system or a system stops sending data to (ITE Work) for another reason, the system still appears as an entity in ITE Work. Similarly, if you delete an entity but the corresponding data source is still sending data, ITE Work creates the entity from data it receives. Once you start collecting data from a system, it appears as an entity in ITE Work until you stop collecting data and manually delete it.
You can remove entities from ITE Work to control which infrastructure components to actively analyze.
