Generate a report with smaller headers - trackinglist report - OFIELDS

The trackinglist report is very useful but the number of lines of the report is huge, like millions of lines for just a 5 minutos data window. This report is used as input into another system/step that will process the data and generate insights and the size of the report has an impact on the processing time and the storage space used.

We can reduce the report size by simply removing the source/origin header block and entering this information into the group section using GFIELDS parameters with Origin fields.

See the attached example report where I expect to reduce the size of the report by 30%.

So, the ideia is have a parameter like "NOOFIELDS" that ommit this block of information.

Thank you,

Alisson
