Icinga for Windows Hyper-V Monitoring runs in Timeout

Hi,
like many of us these days, we had to migrate our main workload from vmware to hyperv because of the known license politics of broadcom. So far so good. To monitor our new hyperV cluster we went with icinga for windows and the hyperv plugins and api enbaled. While migrating more and more VMs everything looked really fine, until the magic number of physical available cores were passed. We have hyperthreading enabled, so we got 256 Logical Cores out of 128 physical cores. All ifw checks run fast and smooth till the 129th logical core is used. Then all ifw checks get real slow, run into timeouts and even afte pushing the timeout and checkinterval from 3m to 5m, still Checks rum into timeout. Somehow it seems the ifw api is not able to handle hyperthreading threads in the root os, although the load on the hyperv host is only 28%.

Has anyone a hint where to look at when using hyperV and icinga for windows?
