I don’t think that’s the new Check WMI Plus version. py-wmi-client hasn’t enjoyed an update in over 5 years. The version described here seems like a much bigger rework of Check WMI Plus than just a new WMIC client.
Instead of softening the server configuration, we opted for a this Python WMI client: https://github.com/dlundgren/py-wmi-client
It can be installed via pip and is a drop-in replacement for the typical wmic binary:
pip2 install wmicIt’s also a better long term solution than softening the server configuration as the softening option will eventually go away all together and we’ll be forced to use a more secure client.
Fair warning: this Python WMI Client is not as performant as the wmic binary. We noticed a pretty big spike in CPU load on our Nagios server as a result, but it appears that much of that load is on CPU wait-time.
