Advanced Monitor Properties (WMI)

• Discovery usage. Use this option to select how you want this WMI monitor to operate during device discovery.
• Don't use in discovery. Select this option if you do not want to use this particular WMI monitor definition during discovery. As a result, this monitor will not appear in the list of monitors to choose during device discovery.
• Use in discovery/Don't monitor. Select this option if you want to use this monitor during discovery, but do not want to use it as a monitor on the devices that were found during that discovery. This is useful in typing a device by a particular aspect, but not always monitoring that aspect.
• Use in discovery/Enable monitoring. Select this option if you want to use this monitor during discovery, and want to add this WMI active monitor to the devices found during discovery. (This option is not available for the CPU and Ping Performance Monitor advanced settings.)

Note:If WMI is used during discovery, you may notice that discovery takes quite a bit longer than if you do not use it. This is because WMI timeouts are relatively long, so each newly discovered device will have to expire this timeout before discovery continues.
