Need an efficient feature, or path (e.g. API endpoint) to export Raw Flow data from SevOne for consumption over Kafka. SDB does this, but only for metrics. Attempts to use SevOne-act (as a way to work around the SDB limitation) result in long export times, would not scale, and would not be supported by IBM.

For SevOne customers using a Data Lake architecture, who want to store/process Raw Flow data, for downstream security or other analysis/anomaly detection would find this highly valuable.

End-users who do not have admin access should be able to access the reports even for closed time-periods otherwise the reports might not be helpful to them and each time an admin would have to intervene to keep changing the time-periods.

Use DNS lookup in SevOne-fix-hosts-file

The SevOne-fix-hosts-file script currently uses SSH to get the hostname of each server in the cluster. In a large cluster, this script can take 2-3 hours to complete. Changing from a repetitive SSH to a DNS lookup cuts down the time considerably.
