Advanced monitor properties (WMI)

• Rescan usage. Use this option to select how you want this WMI monitor to operate during discovery rescan.
  • Don't use in rescan. Select this option if you do not want to use this particular WMI monitor definition during rescan. As a result, this monitor will not appear in the list of monitors to choose during rescan.
  • Use in rescan/Don't monitor. Select this option if you want to use this monitor during rescan, but do not want to use it as a monitor on the devices that were found during that scan. This is useful in typing a device by a particular aspect, but not always monitoring that aspect.
  • Use in rescan/Enable monitoring. Select this option if you want to use this monitor during rescan, and want to add this WMI active monitor to the devices found during rescan. (This option is not available for the CPU and Ping Performance Monitor advanced settings.)

Note: If WMI is used during rescan, you may notice that rescan takes quite a bit longer than if you do not use it. This is because WMI timeouts are relatively long, so the newly discovered device will have to expire this timeout before rescan continues.
