System Administration Reports > WMI Proxy Servers

For Super Users only

Each Data Collector can communicate with one or more WMI Proxies, and hence the Data Collector captures the server name/IP and the Proxy version from each of the servers running the WMI Proxy.

Note:

This report is populated with data only after Windows host collection has occurred, at least once.

Use this report to determine if the WMI Proxy Servers that are used by data collectors are up-to-date.
