Windows & WMI: The cornerstone of most enterprise networks
Servers. Workstations. Applications. Intranets…
With so much riding on Windows, having in-depth health and performance data at your fingertips is a must (unless you like living dangerously).
With the Microsoft standard WMI, you can easily request information about operating system metrics, Windows process and service status, file system usage, and more, of your entire Windows environment. But manually querying your network via command prompts can be tedious…
Paessler PRTG is designed to make WMI monitoring simple at scale. Our powerful preconfigured WMI sensors work right out of the box, tracking critical stats automatically round the clock, even from remote systems – with an impact on your resources you can easily deal with.
5 reasons to choose PRTG as your WMI monitoring tool
Automatic network discovery
Setting up comprehensive WMI monitoring can be tiresome. Not with PRTG. We've built our tool to be plug and play. Install PRTG with a few clicks, and let the auto-discovery detect your WMI-enabled devices and add them to your environment while you nip out for coffee.
Real-time alerts & notifications
Pick your network monitoring parameters and let PRTG do the work. Our customizable alerting system texts you, emails you, or sends you an in-app notification as soon as a specific WMI metric falls below your chosen thresholds. Which means you can prevent issues instead of scrambling to solve them.
Complete network visibility
If it's part of your network, PRTG can keep an eye on it. Alongside WMI monitoring, you'll also have access to more than 250 preconfigured sensors for backup monitoring, bandwidth monitoring, traffic monitoring, database monitoring, and much more, plus the flexibility to create your own sensors.
Reduced resource footprint
No need to install specialized software agents on the devices you want to monitor. PRTG is agentless WMI monitoring software that uses, among other technologies, WMI queries and remote management, so it's more secure and won't hoover up precious system resources.
Free tools to test your network
You got stuck with your WMI monitoring setup? No worries here. Thanks to our free tool Paessler WMI Tester, you can quickly determine if it’s possible to access a target device from your PRTG server with WMI, and identify the root cause of WMI errors and configuration issues.
