Container Image - Evidence Tab: WMI Evidence

IT Asset Management (Cloud)
This choice displays details of the imported Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) evidence from Windows-based operating systems. You can click through to view the linked application, where one exists.
Note: There is no separate properties sheet available for WMI evidence records.

This page displays the following columns (listed alphabetically). Some columns are displayed by default and others can be displayed through the column chooser. To manage columns and other UI options, see the topics under Managing Columns in a Table.

Table 1. WMI evidence tab details
Field Description
Assigned

Displays Yes when the evidence is matched to at least one application, and otherwise displays No. This assignment may have been done automatically through the Application Recognition Library rules, or manually by the operator.

Assigned application
The application to which the evidence is assigned. This value will differ from the Recognized application if any of the following is correct:
  • The evidence is assigned to an application but is set to Ignored and therefore it is not used for recognition
  • The application to which the evidence is assigned is part of a suite and that suite has been recognized instead of the individual application
  • The application to which the evidence is assigned was removed by precedence rules.
Class name The class name of the WMI evidence retrieved from the Application Recognition Library.
Ignored

Displays Yes when the evidence is not used for application recognition, and No (the default) when the evidence is used to recognize an installation of the assigned application.

Inventory date

The most recent date this evidence was detected in this container image.

Inventory source

The display name of the inventory connection where this evidence was found, such as IT Asset Management.

Property name The WMI evidence property: for example, caption, edition, license count, license mode, name, patch level, product code, version, and so on.
Property value The specific value of the corresponding property: for example, Windows Vista Enterprise or Windows Vista Ultimate.
Raw class name Class Name of the WMI evidence. This value is an exact match of the raw evidence data retrieved from the inventory source.
Raw property name Property name for the WMI evidence. This value is an exact match of the raw evidence data retrieved from the inventory source.
Raw property value Property value for the WMI evidence. This value is an exact match of the raw evidence data retrieved from the inventory source.
Recognized application

Name of the application that is shown as installed in the Applications tab (if the evidence was used for recognition).

Source
The origin of the evidence, for example:
  • Flexera — if the evidence is included in Application Recognition Library
  • Flexera (Extended) — if the evidence identified in Application Recognition Library has been modified by an operator, such as being linked to a different application, or having the existence rule changed
  • Local — if the raw evidence did not match an entry in the Application Recognition Library, or an operator in your enterprise created a matching rule.
