entities for removed bridge networks of [glances] integration are left over as unavailable

[janusn]

The problem

I have machines that run docker. The bridge networks for docker containers are frequently created and dropped as images are updated. It leaves tons of obsolete network entities on glances devices. Of course I know I can delete them manually but it is a tedious task to keep up with.

Please remove obsolete network entities from the glances devices.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2024.8.2

You can try disabling the system option "enable newly added entities". This will stop adding these new entities

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have no problem with new entities being added as the corresponding networks were added in glances.

However, I would prefer there is an option for auto-removal of obsolete entities when the corresponding networks are dropped from the target machine.

I would like to add if the option to hide network interfaces be included. Home Assistant local glances is reporting over 500 entities, the vast majority being veth------- as unavailable. Home Assistant has an glances.config file, but adding hide=veth* and restarting does not work.

The integration does know it no longer provides the entities integration.

I have tried to bulk delete them through Setting->Devices & services->Entities. Unfortunately, they are not showing up with filter "Unavailable".

Nor the bulk delete work. The only way to delete them without adding the integration again is through the Settings->Devices & services->Devices->[Devices] page. Each entities takes 4 precise clicks. As tens are added every week on each instance of Home Assistant, it is not a task human can keep up with.
