titleThe advantages Advantages and disadvantages of using direct WMI

The advantages of using WMI are the following:

  1. You do not require additional SQL Server configuration adjustments.
  2. You do not require SQL Server to gather the performance data because the collection service reaches directly to WMI. 

The disadvantages when using direct WMI are that you must have RPC port 135 opened for WMI request initiation access, you must have permissions configured on each SQL instance to allow for remote access to WMI, and you must use a Windows account. For more information about other required opened high-end ports in firewall WMI, see the Microsoft document,
