Modify User Device Tracker to match managed devices with the element count on an APE, please?

I have 53,000 devices on my network.  I (incorrectly) assumed I'd be able to monitor/manage/report all their switch / port information in UDT using the same number of Solarwinds pollers I already have (One Main Instance of NPM, and five APEs with SLX licenses on all).

It turns out that's not the case.  There's no correlation between an APE's SLX license for 10,000 elements and using that poller to monitor and equivalent number of UDT devices.

UDT only can manage up to 3,000 "UDT devices" per poller, where NPM SLX licenses can manage up to 10,000 "elements" per poller.

Please modify UDT so that I don't have to fire up eighteen pollers to manage 53,000 devices.  It should be able to run on just six pollers, which would match six SLX licenses of 10,000 elements.  But not eighteen!

Please?
