I want to test if my ITSI kpi's are working as expected, im creating fake events, with collect, that should trigger the kpi. However the existing onboarding onboards data that avoids the trigger of the correct kpi state e.g.

I onboard my data at minute 1, minute 2 the real data is onboarded, minute 5 the kpi base search runs. it takes the last state and sees everything is correct.

How can i disable all data onboarding in an easy way for running tests?

Why don't you change the test searches to distinguish between real data and test data, and filter out the real data?

One way to do this is to insert a field and value into your test data to identify as such.

@johnhuang How do you mean? e.g. add a search filter in each query to exclude events with a tests tag, and when running tests remove that filter? We have about 200 kpi's, so every time I want to run the KPI test I have to update all 200 searches?
