When using top against my public-facing API deployment, which is exposed to the public via nginx-ingress, every traffic source is displayed on a separate line for the same endpoint:

Since the nginx-ingress controller is deployed as a DaemonSet, the source traffic can come from any of the nodes. When using top in that scenario, I am not particularily interested in having the stats split by source node, I am mostly interested in the stats for any given API endpojnt, regardless of which nginx node directed traffic to it.
