It operates asyncrhonously to the Cacti data collection and\nstores the resulting information into cache tables.  These cache tables can then\nbe used to generate graphs, thresholds and alerts.  It relies on the 'wmic'\ncommand in Linux, and WMI services via Microsofts COM protocol from Windows\nCacti servers.\n\n### WARNING: Development in progress\n\nThis plugin is NOT fully functional.  It should not be used on production\nsystems.  Use at your own risk!\n\n## Installation\n\nTo install the plugin, simply copy the plugin_wmi directory to Cacti's plugins\ndirectory and rename it to simply 'wmi'.  Once this is complete, goto Cacti's\nPlugin Management section, and Install and Enable the plugin.  Once this is\ncomplete, you can start to define WMI queries for your Windows and other Device\nTemplates that support WMI.\n\nMake certain that you install the wmic binary if you are planning on running on\nLinux.\n\n## Usage\n\nThe WMI plugin allows you to define multiple Queries, and then associate those\nqueries with Cacti Device Templates.  Therefore, if you have a generic Windows\nDevice Template, you can add those queries that are significant for a general\nWindows device.  If you have a Microsoft SQL Server Device Template, you can add\nWMI Queries that are specific to Windows SQL Server there.\n\nThere is presently only one setting support in the WMI plugin, and that is to\nAutocreate the actual WMI polling at device creation or update based upon the\nWMI Queries defined as a part of the Device Template.  This setting can be found\nunder Settings -\u003e Device Defaults.\n\n## Authors\n\nThe wmi plugin has been was developed several years ago but never actually\nfinished.  This release formalizes it's behavior and provides a new level of\nscalability to Cacti when gathering data from WMI compatible device's.\n\n## ChangeLog\n\n--- 1.1 ---\n\n* issue#1: PHP and SQL backtrace when deleting stored WMI queries or credentials\n\n* issue#2: Issues with passwords containing unescaped special chars\n\n\n--- 1.0 ---\n\n* feature: Initial Support for Cacti 1.0\n\n-----------------------------------------------\nCopyright (c) 2004-2025 - The Cacti Group, Inc.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcacti%2Fplugin_wmi","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcacti%2Fplugin_wmi","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcacti%2Fplugin_wmi/lists"}
