WMI Provider

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is the Microsoft implementation of Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), an industry initiative to develop a standard technology for accessing management information in an enterprise environment.

For more information on WMI, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa384642(v=vs.85).aspx

ESET WMI Provider

The ESET WMI Provider enables remote monitoring of ESET applications in an enterprise environment without requiring ESET-specific software or tools. By exposing the basic application, status and statistics information via WMI, we greatly expand the possibilities of enterprise administrators when monitoring the ESET applications.

Administrators can use the access methods provided by WMI, including the command line, scripts, and third-party enterprise monitoring tools, to monitor the state of ESET applications.

The current implementation provides read-only access to basic application information, installed features and their protection status, statistics of individual scanners, and application log files.

The WMI Provider enables standard Windows WMI infrastructure and tools to read the state of the application logs.
