1. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause a controller to:
receive, at the controller, metadata from an agent associated with a sensor, wherein the metadata comprises an operational characteristic of the sensor;
determine a monitoring configuration relating to collection of sensor data by the sensor associated with the agent;
store, in a repository, mapping information correlating different indexing information to different metadata comprising operational characteristics of sensors;
receive, at the controller, first sensor data from the agent collected according to the monitoring configuration, wherein the first sensor data is included in a first message comprising first indexing information and excluding the metadata comprising the operational characteristic of the sensor;
use the first indexing information in the data message to retrieve the metadata comprising the operational characteristic of the sensor from the mapping information;
update the monitoring configuration;
receive, at the controller, second sensor data from the agent collected according to the updated monitoring configuration, wherein the second sensor data is included in a second message comprising the first indexing information and excluding the metadata comprising the operational characteristic of the sensor; and
use the first indexing information in the second message to retrieve the metadata comprising the operational characteristic of the sensor from the mapping information.
