Duplicated entries for a given Producer and time

[michaelhsieh42]

Hi, I am seeing lots of entries at a given timepoint for a given producer. I am not sure why this is happening. Roughly half of the timepoints are duplicates. Could you please help clarify? Below is an example from the data in 3/.

df_3=pd.read_csv('../Data/cisco_telemetry/3/bgpclear08042017.csv', low_memory = False).dropna(axis=1, how='all')
df_3['time'] = pd.to_datetime(df_3['time'].astype('int'), unit='ns')
df_3.query('Producer == "leaf2"').sort_values('time')[['bytes-received','time', 'name', 'EncodingPath']].tail(10)

df_3.query('Producer == "leaf2"')['time'].shape[0], df_3.query('Producer == "leaf2"')['time'].unique().shape[0]

out: (31080, 17340)

The telemetry output for the generic counters is collected by device and interface. the yang sensor path you are querying includes the producer, bytes received and the interface in which these bytes are received . If you add by interface_name to your query you will see that these records are not duplicates.
