It would be rather useful to know WHAT exactly is being monitored - explaining what CDN is would be part of that.
Without that it stay total nonsense. Even if several averages are being calculated, what would be a discrepancy? Between what and in in relation to what?
As it is, trying to translate this ST is like trying to translate "consideration" without knowing if it's part of a contract or a discussion about good manners.

@ Daryo your remark is good if there is only one agent/ one serie of data.

In the case of several agents, there are several series of data. You can compute an average for each serie of data -> several different averages. (the average is not on the piece of software but on the data it delivers).
My understanding is that there is a discrepency between these several averages.

MORE context is badly needed. "Disproportionate averaging of monitoring agents" sounds like total nonsense.

What would be a "proportionate" average? Given a series of values, there's only one possible average, so a disproportionate/proportionate average sounds like proper raving.

AFAK "monitoring agents" are pieces of software that are doing the "monitoring" of various network components.

What would be the point of "averaging" monitoring agents? How would anyone calculate the average of several pieces of software?

You need the give a full sentence and also explain what is "CDN" - I'm 99% sure that here "averaging" is not about calculating any average.

la réponse étant sensée entrer dans un glossaire, on ne doit pas mettre 10 mots français pour traduire un mot anglais, c'est disproportionné!!!!. Le surplus peut aller en dessous, dans Explanation
