Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) monitoring

You can create additional monitors with the ConfigWMIMonitor tool.

Physical memory, and Intel Network Adapters are just specific cases of the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) monitors. Be aware that monitoring is restricted to one set of Warning and Alarm limits per device class.

When the disk monitor publishes a failure status for a given disk (or alternatively an OK status), it publishes a message to both the Network Management Console (NMC) disk monitor snap-in and the arbitration health server. The arbitration health server takes any arbitration actions required, as illustrated in the figure above.

Note: WMI monitoring configuration should only be performed by qualified AVEVA personnel or system Administrators. Incorrect configuration can lead to an AVEVA Enterprise SCADA system failure.
