adding 2 columns to authority collection

I am using a lot authority collection. Fabulous tool even though not complete (some object types are not covered, which requires extra work).

During my numerous remediation projects, I really feel we need to add 2 things in the collection:

  • The timestamp the 1st event was collected (in addition to the check_timestamp which represents the last event)
  • the number of events

the timestamp is the most important one
