Insight Providers architecture Architecture overview The following architecture diagram gives an overview of Insight Provider components. The diagram is color-coded to distinguish between Microsoft®-provided components, HP components, and ProLiant WMI components. The Insight Providers extend the industry-standard CIM data model to support information that is specific to ProLiant 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: o Processor information and indications o Memory information and indications o PCI devices and system slots information Insight Providers architecture 24

Insight Providers architecture
Architecture overview
The following architecture diagram gives an overview of Insight Provider components. The diagram is
color-coded to distinguish between Microsoft®-provided components, HP components, and ProLiant WMI
components.
The Insight Providers extend the industry-standard CIM data model to support information that is specific
to ProLiant 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:
o
Processor information and indications
o
Memory information and indications
o
PCI devices and system slots information
