The winperf_if check is now able to detect teamed interfaces. This information is provided by the updated wmic_if.ps1 plugin.
Right now, the teamed interfaces are no longer listed separately. There will be a configuration option soon which allows you to configure this behaviour.
Incompatible change
The service descriptions for this check did never show the human
readable/editable interface name - the NetConnectionID.
This has been fixed. This information is now provided in the alias information
of each interface.
If you have used the configuration option if_inventory_uses_alias, the
interface will now have a different name. Therefore the service description changes
and the performance data will get lost.
A workaround for this problem is to use if_inventory_uses_description instead.
For windows hosts the setting if_inventory_uses_alias and if_inventory_uses_description
meant the same in previous versions. With this update only the meaning of if_inventory_uses_alias has changed.
