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