do not report on values that keep changing

[ohadlevy]

for example on my machine, every time i run, things like cpu-mhz available memory etc are reporting different values, and might not be useful by default?

@ohadlevy You are right. We probably shouldn't report values that might change.

[ohadlevy]

Its ok if they change, but we probably need to split between metrics (memory, cpu and other performance related data) to inventory which is not likely to change, and if it did, it means as a significant impact (e.g. network card changed - > mac address changed, bios board changed -> serial number changed etc)

[ori-amizur]

I meant the same. We need to send inventory + inventory related configuration (For example ip addresses), not metrics.

[ohadlevy]

well, there might be usage cases for hw performance metrics (e.g. disk speeds) or maybe some other diagnostics / troubleshooting capabilities in the future, so YMMV /cc @avishay-traeger
