How do I minimize the stored data of _introspection in a tiny cluster?

At the moment, our tiny indexer has very little disk space and _introspection consumes roughly GB of storage a day, is there a way to minimize the space consumed by the index besides making the retention very short?

You could try disabling the inputs in the introspection_generator_addon app, but I don't know what side effects that might cause.  It might mean some MC dashboards stop working.
