While that is understood for those less standard collectors, in cases like SNMP/WMI, all these indicators are collected during the same poll.
Hi Marcus, we have explored this in the past and there are a few problems. Chief among them is the fact that there is no guarantee that polled indicators will "fill out" an object in a timely manner. This is especially present in less-standard collectors like those found in xStats and deferred data where we are at the mercy of the vendor API capabilities.
If we attempt to re-architect SDP to export full objects we would likely introduce some big problems that threaten the primary uses cases of SDP, which are contingent on SDP being "on-time" with exports. This would also introduce more caching overhead which introduces more cache invalidation problems that are impossible to solve for all use-cases so we'd have to make more trade-offs.
If the volume of data is untenable, the best solution here may be a side-car to SDP that performs this object-level roll up specific to your needs prior to publishing to the data lake. We'll keep this in consideration but this may have to be a custom solution.
