ext-host metrics are malformed

[rcrocker]

Description

The metrics in ext-host/golden-metrics.yml (e.g., https://github.com/newrelic/entity-definitions/blame/main/definitions/ext-host/golden_metrics.yml#L4) are malformed in a way that is not wrong but is likely misleading.

A metric has a single value; these have multiple values. . This is likely not what was intended.

The stream processing system that generates the golden metric data stored in NRDB will only use the first aggregation (in the example, it will construct newrelic.goldenmetrics.ext.host.systemLoad using only sum(datadog.system.load.1); the other values are ignored.

If those other values are important, then they should be included as separate metrics.

I think this has been resolved and we forgot to close the ticket. I'm seeing current metrics with only 1 value.

Feel free to reopen if i'm missing the point
