Under certain circumstances, SQL Elements Inventory Manager is unable to access the WMI counters. When the WMI counters are unavailable, SQL Elements Inventory Manager cannot display performance information from the servers.

When SQL Elements Inventory Manager is unable to collect WMI information, it generates an alert. The alert includes an error message that indicates the underlying problem.

SQL Elements Inventory Manager may be unable to retrieve the WMI information for one or more of the following reasons:

  • The WMI counters are disabled.
  • The performance library is overloaded.
  • The WMI repository is corrupt.

If SQL Elements Inventory Manager is unable to retrieve the WMI information from one or more servers, you should locate and correct the issue that prevents SQL Elements Inventory Manager from collecting the WMI information.
