DGE Configuration for Proxy WMI Server

If you have any UNIX DGEs which need to use the WMI Query Server on a Windows machine as a proxy, edit the following parameters in <TRAVERSE_HOME>/etc/dge.xml:

<wmiQueryServer>
<host name="my_host_1" address="1.1.1.1" port="7667" username="wmiuser" password="fixme" />
</wmiQueryServer>

Restart the DGE so that the changes can take effect.

dge.xml Parameters

The parameters in the dge.xml file are as follows.

Description

host name

A unique, descriptive name for the WMI Query Server host that this DGE uses for WMI monitoring (e.g., Denver_WMI_QueryHost).
