I can see the value of the additional flexibility here. Of course, the
flip side is that I am always worried about too much complexity, as you
probably guessed.
I don't know if your proposal gets us all the way there in regards to
user-focused over implementation-focused terminology. Personally, I'd like to
see profile definitions that are portable and work no matter where the Profiler
is configured to persist data. But maybe that is a pipe dream.
Your point on backwards compatibility is a good one.

> h3. Problem
> The motivating example is that I would like to create an alert if the number
> of inbound flows to any host over a 15 minute interval is abnormal.
> The value being interrogated here, the number of inbound flows, is not a
> static value contained within any single telemetry message. This value is
> calculated across multiple messages by the Profiler. The current Threat
> Triage process cannot be used to interrogate values calculated by the
> Profiler.
> h3. Proposed Solution
> I am proposing that we treat the Profiler as a source of telemetry. The
> measurements captured by the Profiler would be enqueued into a Kafka topic.
> We would then treat those Profiler messages like any other telemetry. We
> would parse, enrich, triage, and index those messages.
> This would have the following advantages.
> 1. We would be able to reuse the same threat triage mechanism for values
> calculated by the Profiler.
> 2. We would be able to generate profiles from the profiled data - aka
> meta-profiles anyone?
