5+
You can use minimal reporting to limit the amount of system data sent to the Subscriptions service, which remains active.
6+
Other Insights services are disabled because they require installed package data, which minimal reports do not include.
7+
Reports are still processed daily during the midnight synchronization cycle.

9+
Minimal reports also exclude hostnames, IP addresses, and installed packages.
10+
Therefore, obfuscation and exclusion settings do not apply.

14+
* Obfuscate host names
