SCOM 2016 - Not monitor all, only custom-specified

Question
-
Hi,
We realized a SCOM 2016 infrastructure and will monitor Windows Computers, Linux Computers, Network Components, etc.
We don't want to monitor all objects (services, processes, data storage, etc.) which are in Mictosoft MPs defined. We want to only monitor what we activate in standard Microsoft MPs, or in custom-specified MPs. All other monitor should be DISABLED.
I see for example on some Linux computer the following path object to be monitored:
/oracle/TEST/data1
1) how can I disable this monitoring for above object?
2) how can I enable only and only specific services, processes, performance data, etc. for monitoring, and all others shoulb be disabled?
Best Regards
Birdal

via overrides!
you can also use mpwiki.viacode.com that has MPs with disabled discoveries/monitors/rules for neccesary management packs, then you can enable what you need.
as example

Hi Alexis,
thank you for your response.
Is there no PowerShell script which I use to disable a specific monitor/rule for a given object (computer)?

Hi Alexis,
MP Wiki has no information about the compatibility with SCOM 2016.

Hi Birdal,
you can either use the script Alexis posted (test in in a Test env first), or you can make a list fo the classes for which you want to disable the monitors/rules and use the approach of Pete Zerger here:
OpsMgr 2012: Disabling Rules and Monitors in Bulk in PowerShell
Please note that both of the script based methods do not disable discoveries. Those you will have to disable in addition. Here an example:
Disabling all Discoveries in a SCOM 2012/2016 Management Pack
Or check this out (works for SCOM 2017 of course):
SCOM 2012 – How to bulk disable monitors/rules/discoveries
Hope that helps. Regards,
