WMI Service - Auto start selection on new sensors

Votes:

0

I was wondering if we could change the default of the WMI Service to not start stopped services. We create a lot of WMI sensors and have had other people forget to select to not auto start. Also is there an easy way to list all sensors that have that auto start set?

autostart new wmi-service

Hi,
I'm afraid at the moment there is no way to set this to default and again I'm afraid there is also no way to get a list of all WMI Service Sensors with this settings.
What you may do is selecting all WMI Service sensors (Sensors -> By Type -> WMI Service) and then do a multi edit of all sensors. This will allow you to set the option for all your WMI Service Sensors to the same.
Best regards

The multi edit option will work for us. Is this this something that might be added in the future?

We will put the request on our internal wishlist, but I cannot gurantee if or when it will be implemented.
Best regards
