To perform WMI monitoring from a UNIX DGE or DGE extension you must install and configure a Traverse WMI Query Server as a "proxy" on a Windows system that can access the Windows hosts to be monitored. Note that there is a corresponding WMI Event Listener program (nvwmiel) to monitor Windows events using WMI. See The Traverse WMI Event Listener.
