Too Many Transforms Automatically Recreated

Elasticsearch cluster (version 8.17.0) I see numerous transforms are being created automatically. Even when I delete these transforms, they are recreated immediately.

The transforms follow a naming pattern like:

  • entities-v1-latest-builtin_containers_from_ecs_data
  • entities-v1-latest-builtin_kubernetes_cluster_ecs
  • entities-v1-latest-builtin_hosts_from_ecs_data

All of them are in continuous mode and are managed.

I suspect these transforms might be related to Entity Analytics , but I am unsure.

  • These transforms are part of which built-in features?
  • Is there a way to disable or prevent their recreation?

thanks
