The WMI Security Center sensor monitors the security status of a Windows client computer using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI). It can monitor all security products that are controlled by Windows Security Center / Windows Action Center.
It shows the status code of the monitored product and sets the sensor status accordingly. A sensor status showing Up indicates that the product is up to date and the access scan is running.
This sensor requires Windows Vista or later on the target computer.
This sensor type does not run on Windows Server operating systems (Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, 2016), because the Windows Security Center / Windows Action Center is only available on client Windows versions.
Select the security center products you want to monitor. PRTG will create one sensor for each product you select in the Add Sensor dialog. The settings you choose will be valid for all sensors that you create when you finish this dialog.
You see a list showing the Name and Type of all security products found in the Windows Security Center on the target device. If there are no products, you see a corresponding message.
