1. Why does the `/api/v2/metrics` endpoint in AWX retain old data, e.g. awx\_instance\_info showing duplicate hostnames with different uuid, even though I’m interested in only the current active nodes? Is there a way to only show the current active nodes (without scraping using the uuid label)?

2. I’ve noticed that when a node is removed from the AWX GUI & `/api/v2/instances`, it doesn’t get removed from the `/metrics` endpoint. Why does this happen and how can I ensure that removed nodes are also deleted from the `/metrics` endpoint?
