+By default, the Profiler creates Profiles with a period duration of 15
minutes. This means that data is accumulated, summarized and flushed every 15
minutes. The Client API must also have knowledge of this duration to correctly
retrieve the profile data. If the client API is expecting 15 minute periods, it
will not be able to read data generated by a Profiler that has been configured
with a 1 hour period.

Profiler topology's static properties file. The Stellar Client API can be
configured by setting the following properties in Metron's global configuration.

> The period duration can be configured in the Profiler by altering the
> Profiler topology's static properties file. The Stellar Client API currently
> provides no means to configure the period duration and defaults also to 15
> minutes. This means that the Stellar Client API can only read profiles with a
> period duration of 15 minutes. This is a known limitation that has not yet
> been addressed.
