This can be used to filter out attributes that either don't change or don't matter to you in order to reduce the amount of data stored in InfluxDB. Please be aware of the underlying InfluxDB mechanism that converts non-string attributes to strings and adds a `_str` suffix to the attribute name in this case. It means that when you want to ignore, for example, the `icon_str` attribute that shows in your InfluxDB instance, you need to provide `icon` to `ignore_attributes`. required: false component_config: type: string
