WMI Sensors

WMI stands for “Windows Management Instrumentation” and is the latest technology from Microsoft for monitoring and management of Windows based systems. WMI allows to read out data for many Windows’ configuration parameters as well as current system status values. Access can take place locally or remotely via a network connection. WMI is based on COM and DCOM and is integrated in Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista. Add-ons are available for Windows 9x and NT4.
