WTH: Exclude Entity from Logbook/History

Why isn’t there a much easier way to exclude a specific entity from the Logbook/History/Recorder?

For example. I want to be able to see the Serial entity of my router, so I can use it in my dashboard, but don’t want it to spam my Logbook when it’s just a static entity. It’s one or the other in the UI, or some tinkering using yaml every time.

It baffles me why this hasn’t been addressed.
