What is WMI® Monitoring

WMI® Monitoring describes the processes and utilities required to scan systems remotely for early warning signs of potential failure. This is accomplished using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), the primary management technology for Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. WMI monitoring tools allow administrators to identify Windows operating system issues, application issues and other potential issues. WMI monitoring helps to ensure maximum end user productivity by keeping Windows systems up and running without interruption.
