Ability to re-write the source in Netflow data for WLC's that managed hundreds/thousands of AP's.

We have an issue today where Cisco WLC are sending us netflow for hundreds/thousands of AP's.  This makes reporting on a per site basis quite difficult.  Customers who are using Cisco DNA have work arounds they can use in Cisco DNA, but it's something we cannot replicate in Data Insight today.   What we would like to see is an ability to essentially re-write the incoming flow data, in a manner that the data is associated with the device it is about, rather than the source it came from.  With that flow data being store at the AP level for instance, existing AP Device Group's we use for Wifi and SNMP data could be leveraged.

    could you share the DNA workarounds that make reports work? Is the Cisco WLC aggregating the flow and sending it with single source IP? Can you share the sample flow? Are there Cisco PEN fields included in the flow to identify a site/AP? Are sites associated with a single AP with a unique IP? Do the endpoints in each site associate to unique IP subnet?
