WMI
To change the preferences for WMI classes, select the menu:
- File, Discovery Options, or click on the Discovery Optionsbutton in the File toolbar (a green screwdriver)
- Then choose the WMI tab
The dialog contains 16 pairs of values representing the values that you want to read from the remote nodes during discoveries. You cannot set values or launch processes remotely.
- WMI Class: name of WMI class
- Value: the name of a property of that class (WQL column) that you want to read
- Check: tries to collect all the above values from the local computer.
Technically, the command that is send is
- Select * from <WMI Class>. This WQL command returns a table (WQL is a basic SQL subset)
- The column indicated by <Value> is selected, and if there are several rows in this table, they are grouped in a single text line, separated by |.
For example:
WMI Class: Win32_LogicalDisk, Value:Name
Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk
Part of the resulting table
