Description

The wmi_perf probe runs WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) queries to collect performance counters from Windows hosts. WMI is a Windows-only API — reports unsupported on non-Windows. Build tag vms_heavy. Actual WMI/COM execution is currently deferred per roadmap — the probe validates config and credentials but does not yet execute queries on Windows.
