WMI Test Parameters

Traverse can monitor Windows hosts using the native Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), which is installed by default on all Windows 2000, XP and 2003 or later versions, and available as an add-on for other Windows hosts. This includes virtual machines operating under Microsoft Virtual Server 2005.

Note: See Configuring Windows WMI for assistance on how to enable WMI on hosts.

Note: WMI tests and SNMP tests support an additional feature called Test Parameter Rediscovery.
