Nick, Just a nit, but is it 'bdp_version' or 'dbp_versions'?
- 'bdp_version': A list of the different DataStax Enterprise versions in the cluster. Also, is this "report" available from OpsCenter? Seems like it would be nice to display a message to the user about what we send, and then provide a link to see the actual values that we are sending. Just a thought.
