Add alternate device and object name fields to SevOne Data Publisher (SDP) output to kafka

TELUS needs Interface, QOS and IPSLA metric data exported from SevOne on a periodic basis to build SLA reports (SONAR). The plan is use SevOne Data Publisher to push this object data as polled to Kafka. RIA workflows will be build to pull the metric data from Kafka and build the reports at appropriate interval. The report needs to include the alternate device and object name. This data is not published as part of the SDP output. This will require the workflow to do an API calls to SevOne to gather device and object alternate name data for each object to be included in the report. Given the scale of the report, an object group with over 60,000 objects, pulling this data will take some time to collect and process.

The ask is for SDP output to be modified to include device and object alternate name in the output sent to kafka.
