mk_oracle.ps1 provides a configuration to exclude sections for SID. This was only working if you prepend the section name with sql_, like e.g.:

$EXCLUDE_XE="sql_performance"

If you were using the agent bakery to generate the configuration, the exclude mechansim was not working as it didn't generate the prefix. It is now not necessary anymore to add this prefix (however with prefix it is stil, like e.g.l working). In order to apply this fix, the agent plugin mk_oracle.ps1 must be re-deployed onto your monitored host.
