Configuration of WMIHealthTest

This test emulates a WMI script execution on a target Windows host, and in the process, checks the status of the WMI service and of the script execution. This way, the test points eG users to the real reason why the eG agent was unable to pull metrics from a Windows target - is it the non-availability of the WMI service? Or is it the failure of the script?

The default parameters associated with this test are:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• Specify the host for which the test is to be configured, in the HOST text box.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
