This patch uses printf() a lot. It should only collect the data and give the data to the telemetry library, not printf() anything. It is up to the application (which asked the telemetry library for the data) to determine how the data should be presented to the end user. E.g. the application could present the data in an SNMP packet, as the response to an SNMP request received by the application's SNMP agent. The separation of data and presentation is a key point of the telemetry library. -Morten
