WMI vs SNMP on Windows | Product Discussions

Windows Server 2016, VM, but defined as standalone server in LogicMonitor. One of the applications running on this server is Cisco Contact Server. So OK, because it is a Windows machine I give it standard WMI credentials used for our Windows servers discovery. Because the Cisco app uses SNMP v2c access I give it snmp.commnunity and snmp.version properties. Discovery runs fine and everything is working OK but here's the issue. A slight one but it is an issue nonetheless.... I end with multiple DataSources doing double monitoring for the same OS component. I have 2 'CPU Cores' DS monitoring CPU. One is using WMI and the other SNMP. I have 'Interfaces-' DS listed twice. I have 'Services-' and 'Windows Servivces'. List continues.... I thought LM had a logic in place so only one of the protocols would be used (WMI vs SNMP). What's the best practice to deal with this issue?
