The Traverse WMI Event Listener (nvwmiel) is an agent that runs on any one Windows host in your workgroup or domain, and retrieves events from all other Windows hosts that are part of the domain or workgroup.
Windows events are usually classified in 3 categories - application, system and security. The severities are error, warn, and info.
Installing the WMI Event Listener
To install the Event Listener, download the wmitools-7.x-xx-windows.exe package from the Kaseya support site (www.Kaseya.com/support/) and run it on a Windows XP/2000/2003 server (English language only).
Prerequisite: Requires the Java runtime environment be installed on the Windows system running the wmitools package. http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
Note: At least one WMI test must be configured on the monitored host for Traverse to be able to receive Windows events from that host.
If the WMI tests on the monitored servers are not configured with their own credentials and are relying on credentials set up on the WMI Query Daemon server, then the Traverse WMI listener must also be set up to use the same credentials.
If you have XP SP2 running on the target machines, you will need to either disable the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) or allow the host running nvwmiel to access the machine. You can do this by going to the Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall.
