The following architecture diagram gives an
overview of Insight Provider components. The diagram is color-coded
to distinguish between Microsoft®-provided components, HP
components, and ProLiant WMI components.
The Insight Providers extend the
industry-standard CIM data model to support information that is
specific to ProLiant platforms. The Insight Providers collect data
from sources such as drivers and system firmware to populate the
data model.
By using scripting hosts or writing directly to
the WMI COM-based client API, you can create custom applications
that can access the data model, providing automated administrative
tasks.
The Insight Providers implement the following
instrumentation:
