Windows Server Monitor - WMI Metrics Reference Tables
This document lists the WMI namespaces, classes, and WQL queries used by AppManager Windows Server Monitor scripts in WMI mode. These reference tables can be used to troubleshoot WMI-related issues, validate WMI queries using WBEMTEST, verify namespace and class availability, and identify the corresponding script for each monitored metric or configuration attribute.
Table 1: Performance Metrics (WMI Mode)

Note:
All queries listed above are executed through WMI mode in the Applications Manager Windows Server Monitor.
Namespace availability and WMI class registration may vary based on the Windows OS version and the installed server roles and features.
Certain application-specific namespaces (for example, Task Scheduler, Firewall, and Cluster services) may require additional WMI provider registration or elevated permissions.
If a query fails, validate the namespace, WMI class, and WQL query using the WBEMTEST tool. Refer to the "Checking connectivity with WMI Tester" section for instructions on using the wbemtest tool.
