DESCRIPTION
       You can use the wmi component to configure a custom monitor, or you can
       use the default WMI monitor that the Global Traffic Manager provides.
       This type of monitor checks the performance of a pool, pool member, or
       virtual server that is running the WMI data collection agent, and then
       dynamically load balances traffic accordingly.

EXAMPLES
       create wmi my_wmi defaults-from wmi

       Creates a monitor named my_wmi that inherits properties from the
       default WMI monitor.

       list wmi

       Displays the properties of all of the WMI monitors.

OPTIONS
       agent
	    Displays the agent for the monitor. The default agent is
	    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible: MSIE 5.0; Windows NT). You cannot modify
	    the agent.

       command
	    Specifies the command that the system uses to obtain the metrics
	    from the resource. See the documentation for this resource for
	    information on available commands.

       defaults-from
	    Specifies the name of the monitor from which you want your custom
	    monitor to inherit settings. The default value is wmi.

       description
	    User defined description.

       glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob
	    for a description of glob expression syntax.

       ignore-down-response
	    Specifies whether the monitor ignores a down response from the
	    system it is monitoring. The default value is disabled.

       interval
	    Specifies the frequency at which the system issues the monitor
	    check. The default value is 30 seconds.

       method
	    Displays the GET method. You cannot modify the method.

       metrics
	    Specifies the performance metrics that the commands collect from
	    the target. The default value is LoadPercentage, DiskUsage,
	    PhysicalMemoryUsage:1.5, VirtualMemoryUsage:2.0.

       name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required
	    for the commands create, delete, and modify.

       partition
	    Displays the administrative partition within which the component
	    resides.

       password
	    Specifies the password if the monitored target requires
	    authentication. The default value is none.

       post Specifies the mechanism that the monitor uses for posting. The
	    default value is RespFormat=HTML. You cannot change the post
	    format for WMI monitors.

       probe-timeout
	    Specifies the number of seconds after which the BIG-IP(r) system
	    times out the probe request to the BIG-IP system. The default
	    value is 5 seconds.

       regex
	    Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular
	    expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular expression])
	    to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help
	    regex for a description of regular expression syntax.

       timeout
	    Specifies the number of seconds the target has in which to respond
	    to the monitor request. The default value is 120 seconds.

	    If the target responds within the set time period, it is
	    considered up. If the target does not respond within the set time
	    period, it is considered down. Also, if the target responds with a
	    RESET packet, the system immediately flags the target as down
	    without waiting for the timeout interval to expire.

       url  Specifies the URL that the monitor uses. The default value is
	    /scripts/f5Isapi.dll.

       username
	    Specifies the user name if the monitored target requires
	    authentication. The default value is none.
