Add and Edit Sensor Channels
As an IT Administrator I want to be able to add or delete channels of a sensor versus recreating the entire sensor so that I can avoid redoing work when there is a device change. For example if I were to add an SPF to a switch or router and would need to add a channel or remove a channel.

As a Systems Engineer monitoring dynamic infrastructure, I want sensors to automatically hide or remove channels for resources that are no longer active, so that I can focus on relevant monitoring data without manually recreating sensors to clean up outdated channels.
For example, when monitoring server mount points through an EXE/Script sensor, each actively used mount point should have its own channel. Once a mount point is decommissioned, it should be possible to remove its channel rather than having it remain permanently greyed out, which creates UI/UX confusion and makes it difficult to distinguish between active and inactive resources. This would eliminate the need to recreate sensors every few weeks/months for cleanup purposes.

One possible usage scenario could be the following one:
- Click on the channel gear
- Scroll to the bottom
- A red button labeled "Delete channel" is present
- Clicking on it shows a confirmation dialog box
- If we click Yes, the channel and all its associated historical data points are deleted
- If we click No, the channel is not deleted
