WMI Filters

This node displays the list of WMI classes which are in the hwinvcfg.xml file. This file is part of the hardware inventory collection, it is made to suit the users needs. Inventory collection is done by "passing" the list of available WMI classes through this configuration file. The file is an XML formatted text file supplied with the agent and can be modified or added to as required.
