NDOUtils data

The add-on also assigns source types based on thirty configuration tables in NDOUtils. Each source type follows the pattern nagios:<Table_Name>. These source types do not map to CIM data models. Splunk Enterprise queries for updated data from all these tables every two minutes, with the exception of configuration tables, which are not frequently updated. Splunk Enterprise queries for updated data from configuration tables every hour.
