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
Processor information and indications
Memory information and indications
PCI devices and system slots information
Sensor information and indications, including redundancy, fans, temperature sensors,
and power supplies
