Manage WMI Proxy
Note:
A WMI Proxy configuration is needed only if you are collecting data from Windows servers in your environment.
Multiple WMI Proxy settings can be created to manage access to Windows hosts.
See Host resources prerequisites and configurations.
See Host discovery and collection configuration steps.
