WMI Troubleshooting Classes

WMI supplies a set of troubleshooting classes that scripts and applications can use to get information about WMI internal state during WMI core and provider operations. For more information about WMI troubleshooting, see WMI Troubleshooting and Provider Configuration and Troubleshooting Classes.

WMI has several basic troubleshooting classes for WMI core and provider operations:

• MSFT_WmiProvider_Counters

  Only one of these classes is found on each computer system. It provides counts of various kind of provider operations on that system.

• MSFT_WmiSelfEvent

  The event troubleshooting classes derive from MSFT_WmiSelfEvent. Queries of this class return instances of event classes such as MSFT_WmiThreadPoolCreated or MSFT_WmiProvider_CreateInstanceEnumAsyncEvent_Post.

  The following list provides links to different categories of event classes derived from MSFT_WmiSelfEvent:

  • Provider Event Troubleshooting Classes
