WMI Query Sensors

Beyond the standard sensor settings, the WMI Query sensor includes the following options:

WMI Query – This required field is to be used to define the valid expression for the desired WMI query. Bear in mind that only a single return value can be monitored; as such, selecting multiple fields in the provided expression will only yield results for the first expression used (i.e. If the result contains more than one row of data, only the first one is used).

Custom Indicator String – This field is for display purposes only and can contain any alphanumeric entry allowing the user to discern what sort of query is being monitored. Some examples could be “Bandwidth”, “Temperature”, etc.

Custom Unit String – This field is for display purposes only and is provided to define a unit entry for the query in case. Some examples could be “ms”, “Kbyte”, etc.
