Suppress insights

Just like notifications, you can also select certain insights to suppress so they don’t trigger. Suppressed insights aren’t considered in the knowledge graph processing and won’t be visible in the entity graph or RCA workbench. It’s important to note that this is distinct from an insight that triggers but doesn’t notify.
