Disabling Data Integrity Checks
Product Reference · Osprey Data Quality
Data integrity checks can be disabled at multiple levels — individual assets, asset hierarchies, or entire groups of assets matching a rule. This document covers all available methods.
Overview
When data integrity checks are disabled on an asset: - All scheduled quality checks stop running - Existing data quality issues are removed - The asset no longer contributes to domain-level quality scores - Checks can be re-enabled at any time; historical issues are not restored
Method 1: Asset Master Toggle
Disable all quality checks for a single asset from the asset detail page.
Steps 1. Open any asset page 2. Navigate to Data Operations view (top-right toggle) 3. In the Data Integrity section, locate the Enable Data Quality Checks toggle 4. Switch the toggle off
Child Asset Prompt
If the asset has child assets, a confirmation dialog appears with three options:
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Cancel | No change — toggle reverts |
| This asset only | Disables checks on the current asset; children are unaffected |
| Include child assets | Disables checks on the current asset and all descendants |
Note: Disabling checks removes all existing data quality issues for the affected asset(s). This action takes effect immediately and the page will reload after 3 seconds.
Method 2: Auto-Disable for Scan Off Tags
Automatically disable checks for any Tag asset where the scan property equals 0.
Steps 1. Go to Settings → Data Integrity 2. Enable Auto-disable for Scan Off Tags 3. Click Save & Apply Rules
When it runs - On demand when you save settings - After each ingest cycle completes
Scope: Tag-type assets only where attributes.scan == 0
Method 3: Auto-Disable by Point Source
Automatically disable checks for Tag assets whose point_source attribute matches one or more values.
Steps
1. Go to Settings → Data Integrity
2. Enter point source values in the Auto-disable for Point Sources field, separated by spaces
- Example: SCADA PCS MES
3. Click Save & Apply Rules
Scope: Tag-type assets whose point_source exactly matches any value in the list (case-insensitive)
Method 4: Auto-Disable by Label
Automatically disable checks for any asset carrying a specific label. Useful for marking assets as "excluded from monitoring" using your existing labeling taxonomy.
Steps 1. Go to Settings → Data Integrity → Auto-Disable by Label 2. Toggle on any label(s) whose assets should be excluded 3. Click Save & Apply Rules
Scope: All asset types that have the selected label(s) applied
Tip: Create a dedicated label such as
DQ ExcludedorDecommissionedto make exclusions discoverable across your team.
Behaviour Summary
| Scenario | Issues Removed? | Reversible? |
|---|---|---|
| Toggle off — asset only | Yes | Yes — re-enable toggle |
| Toggle off — include children | Yes, for all affected | Yes — re-enable per asset |
| Auto-disable (scan/point source/label) | Yes | Yes — remove rule + re-save |
Re-enabling Checks
All methods are fully reversible:
- Asset toggle — switch it back on; checks resume on the next scheduled run
- Auto-disable rules — uncheck the rule in Settings → Data Integrity → Save & Apply Rules; existing assets are not automatically re-enabled (you must re-enable them individually or via the API)
