Previously, after a WMI error occurred during the generation of specific WMI sections, particularly the CpuLoad and DotNetClr sections, the agent would stop creating these sections for a period of one hour. This was done to reduce noise in the log file. However, this approach led to situations where a random WMI failure could prevent data collection for an hour.

Since this release, the delay on fail or the CpuLoad and DotNetClr sections is eliminated thus making monitoring more smooth.
