How can I capture WMI data from the local machine in Splunk? The program I am working on has a preexisting tool that used WMI to report data from SNMP devices (UPS, environment monitors, etc) to our NetIQ instance rather than writing it out to a flat file to be read in.
We don't have the budget to modify that tool as part of migrating to Splunk and all the information I've found for monitoring WMI data in Splunk assumes it is from a different machine and correspondingly requires a domain account instead of being able to run as the local service user.
How can I capture data from the local machine using WMI (preferably continuing to install Splunk as the local user)?
Thanks.
