The Atera agent once installed generates an info event in the System Event Log:

Description
A service was installed in the system.
Service Name: WinRing012_0
Service File Name: C:\Program Files\ATERA Networks\AteraAgent\Packages\AgentPackageMonitoring\OpenHardwareMonitorLib.sys
Service Type: kernel mode driver
Service Start Type: demand start
Service Account:
This event occurs every 30 seconds, minute or so. It really clutters up the System Event Log. Makes it very difficult when attempting to track down an issue using the System Event Log.
Please either disable this output or put it in a different event log dedicated for Atera messages.

I understand WinRing0 is collecting stats on the computer.
Why does it have to be *installed* every minute?
We are working through some BSOD instability. Beyond the nuisance event logs messages, I'm concerned all of this high frequency driver maintenance activity might be related.
I wish I could alter the poling frequency to the driver would install less often.
