For System_State data sets - Can we add a polling interval per Collector/Metric? Or do we have to add new Sources and group the Collectors/Metrics by polling interval. Example - I dont need host info every 5 minutes. Listening Ports on the other hand....might be good every 5 minutes.

Work around... use an Aggregation or Suppression function to selectively minimize the data coming through

Yeah that can work. I do feel that adds more overhead with computation cycles - which are already limited on Edge. Is that worth submitting a FR for?

pretty minimal load. we're talking 10s or maybe 100s of events per 5 minutes. Event 1000 events would be barely touching the cpu
