Allows access to the Windows Management Instrumentation data, exposed by Windows systems.

The agent supports both local and remote modes.

There is no need to specify a version for the WMI agent.

The following configuration options are available:

User name: User name valid for the remote system, or blank if not required.

Password: Password valid for the remote system, or blank if not required.

Windows Management Instrumentation data is grouped under four large categories:

Hardware: contains information about the physical devices present in a computer

OS: holds information about operating system components such as drivers, users etc

Applications: contains data related to the installed applications

Performance: contains a hierarchy of performance counters exposed by Windows. Do not use the WMI agent to access this data. Instead use the Windows agent which is optimized to retrieve these performance counters.
