The Insight Providers extend the industry-standard CIM data model to support information that is
specific to Integrity platforms. The Insight Providers collect data from sources such as drivers and
system firmware to populate the data model.
By using scripting hosts or writing directly to the WMI COM-based client API, you can create
custom applications that can access the data model, providing automated administrative tasks.
The Insight Providers implement the following instrumentation:
•
Server providers
