WMI monitoring made easy
In addition to SNMP-enabled devices, Windows servers, SQL Server databases, Windows-based applications and other WMI-enabled systems can now be easily monitored over your network using WhatsUp Gold.

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the infrastructure for management data and operations on Windows-based operating systems. WMI is based upon the Desktop Management Task Force (DTMF) standard and is a specific set of extensions to the Windows Driver Model that provides an operating system interface through which instrumented components provide information and notification. Most Microsoft server and desktop operating systems and applications have built-in WMI support.

WhatsUp Gold was one of the first network and application management solutions to fully support WMI to provide complete monitoring capability for WMI enabled desktop and server OSs and applications, including; Exchange and SQL Server. With such a head start, WhatsUp Gold continues to lead the way in WMI monitoring.

Using WhatsUp Gold WMI monitoring capabilities, network managers can immediately understand the health of their servers and applications to pro-actively understand and resolve issues before they become real problems.
