Summary

This monitor rolls up health from wmi service availability monitor that detect non-healthy conditions of the agents.

Causes

The monitor checks the state of the WMI service to ensure that it is in a "running" state. If that is not the case over multiple checks, then an alert is raised.

Resolutions

To resolve the issue, the WMI service needs to be set to a state of "running" on the system. Take the following steps to resolve the problem:

  • Run the "Start the WMI Service" task to set the WMI service to a "running" state. If it succeeds then the issue is resolved.

    Run the "Start the WMI Service" task to set the WMI service to a "running" state.

  • If the task fails then review the error message provided in the task details to determine the nature of the failure. Also, review the Application and System event logs on the system to see if there are any warnings or errors related to the WMI service failing.
