Metric Intelligence can be configured to collect significant amounts of data,
some of which might not be necessary. To improve performance, you can disable a specific
metric for a specific CI to stop processing data related to the specified metric and
CI.

## Before you begin

Role required: evt_mgmt_admin

## About this task

Note:  
The Active setting (true or false) for a source metric in the Monitoring System Metric Types \[sa_source_metric_type\] table takes precedence over the setting for the corresponding metric in the Metric To CI Mappings \[sa_metric_map\] table. If a source metric type in the Monitoring System Metric Types \[sa_source_metric_type\] table is disabled, all records related to the corresponding metrics are removed from the Metric To CI Mappings \[sa_metric_map\] table.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllEvent ManagementAnomaly DetectionMetric to CI.
2. Locate the record for the metric/CI that you want to disable, and set its Active column to false.
