instructing, by the network-analytics controller, analytics agents to each perform tasks, individual ones of the analytics agents running on respective network nodes in the network;
receiving, at the network-analytics controller and from the analytics agents, telemetry data associated with execution of the tasks, the telemetry data being generated and at least partially processed by the analytics agents;
identifying unused data from the telemetry data;
adjusting an analytics scope policy associated with the network such that the analytics agents refrain from performing a task of the tasks that result in generation or processing of the unused data; and
using the analytics scope policy, causing the analytics agents to refrain from performing the task that results in the generation or the processing of the unused data.
