# Disable an Amazon S3 Storage Lens dashboard
<a name="storage_lens_disabling"></a>

You can disable an Amazon S3 Storage Lens dashboard from the Amazon S3 console. Disabling a dashboard prevents it from generating metrics in the future. A disabled dashboard still retains its configuration information, so that it can be easily resumed when re-enabled. A disabled dashboard retains its historical data until it's no longer available for queries.
