CPU, Disk and Memory Monitoring using WMI

Probe monitors the system resources using SNMP by default. However, the non-SNMP Windows devices can be monitored using WMI. All the Windows templates have the resource monitors preconfigured. All you need to do is, disable the SNMP monitors associated and select the WMI monitors and associate them to all the required devices.

Prerequisites
For monitoring the Windows environment, the Probe must necessarily be installed on a Windows machine. Besides, the device where Probe is installed and the monitored remote Windows devices must have WMI, RPC, and DCOM services enabled on them. Authentication to the remote devices using WMI requires you to login as a domain user with administrator privileges. This is a requirement of the WMI protocol. If the device is in a workgroup, the system user name and password should suffice.

Steps to configure WMI Monitors
Steps to configure WMI monitors to a single device:
  1. From the Central/Probe web client, go to the device snapshot page.
  2. From Monitors-> Performance Monitors section, remove the SNMP-based monitors if any.
  3. Click on Add Monitors button at the right bottom.
  4. Now, from the list of resource monitors, select the CPU, Memory, and Disk Utilization monitors which has the protocol name as WMI against the monitor name.
  5. Click on OK. 
Steps to configure WMI monitors to all devices of the same type:
  1. From the Central web client, go to Admin-> Device Templates.
  2. From the templates list, select the template of the device type for which you want to add the monitors. Click on the corresponding letter to get the template quickly.
  3. Select the CPU, Memory, and Disk Utilization monitors of WMI type and click on OK.
  4. The monitors are added in the template under the Monitors column.
  5. Click on Apply button. Apply Device Template to selected devices box opens.

  6. All the devices to which the monitors are associated are listed under Selected devices column. You can move device(s) from Unknown devices column to the Selected devices  column inorder to associate the selected monitors. Again click on Apply button.
