The Studio – WBEM Request tool enables you to run WBEM requests and analyze their results remotely on Windows and non-Windows systems. What you can do with this tool Monitoring Studio Express enables you to remotely execute WBEM requests on elements within your Portal environment. It supports both the WBEM-over-HTTP standards and the Microsoft implementation of WBEM commonly known as WMI. Background information on WBEM WBEM is a set of management and Internet standard technologies developed to unify the management of distributed computing environments, facilitating the exchange of data across otherwise disparate technologies and platforms. WBEM is a unifying architecture that allows access to data from a variety of underlying technologies - including Win32, WMI, the Desktop Management Interface (DMI), and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). WBEM is based upon the Common Information Model (CIM) schema, which is an industry standard driven by the Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF). WBEM queries are written with the WQL language, which happens to be very similar to the SQL language. A typical WQL query would look like the following: SELECT DeviceID,Status FROM CIM_Processor.

On Windows systems Monitoring Studio Express uses the WMI protocol with which it has the ability to query the WMI repository for class and instance information. For example, you can request that WMI return all the objects representing shut-down events from your desktop system. Monitoring Studio Express enables you to run WMI queries remotely and you can also search for regular expressions and extract numeric values in the query output. On Non Windows systems On non-Windows systems, Monitoring Studio Express uses the WBEM CIM over HTTP standards. Parameters
