Some components within AppInsight applications can be disabled, and possibly select others in the future may also be optionally disabled. They will not however reclaim component monitor licenses because AppInsight applications typically monitor far greater than 50 components. AppInsight applications are a way of providing tremendous value within the product while consuming a fixed number component monitor licenses. AppInsight for SQL for example monitors over 120 individual metrics even if there is only a single database running on the server. For those metrics that you're not interested in monitoring, simply remove the warning and critical thresholds for those components by editing the application, and you will never be alerted or notified about those components again. Those components will also never appear in a warning or critical state within the web interface.
