The Model Tab

In this Tab the user can explore the current Model, as well as add resources to or remove resources from the model. Consider that Data Collectors are in charge of keeping their respective sub graph alive, therefore if you try to delete a resource which is kept alive by a running data collector, it will be restored. On the other side, if you add new resources from this tab, those resources will have an infinite keep alive period, i.e., they won't ever expire unless manually deleted through the webapp or through the REST API.
