... that this indicator is somehow available to this self-monitoring thing (which is what remonter is saying), then update could work just fine :-)

Correction: "... a platform should update" From a network friend:

"A platform would reset or update basic system indicators ... update is better in this instance."

Next time, I will not add notes until my final answer...

My final answer should read: "... a platform should report, at the least, the following..."
