This ZenPack creates a new Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Data Source.

* Query syntax unification with WMIDataSource

• Example1: SELECT * FROM CIM_Processor - will enumerate all Instances of CIM_Processor class
• Example2: CIM_Processor - will also enumerate all Instances of CIM_Processor class
• Example3: SELECT * FROM CIM_Processor WHERE DeviceID="CPU0" - get single Instance for CPU0
• Example4: CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU0" - get single Instance for CPU0
• Example5: root/cimv2:CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU0" - get single Instance from specific namespace

* Properties names to Data Points names mapping

• Description: set Data Points names the same as CIM Properties names
• Example:
  • Query: SELECT LoadPercentage FROM CIM_Processor
  • Data Point: LoadPercentage

• Example: Device has 4 CPUs (components)
  • DataSource Query for CPU1: CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU0"
  • DataSource Query for CPU2: CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU1"
  • DataSource Query for CPU3: CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU2"
  • DataSource Query for CPU4: CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU3"
• Result query: CIM_Processor
  • Instance.DeviceID="CPU0" -> DataPoints from DataSource CPU1
  • Instance.DeviceID="CPU1" -> DataPoints from DataSource CPU2
  • Instance.DeviceID="CPU2" -> DataPoints from DataSource CPU3
  • Instance.DeviceID="CPU3" -> DataPoints from DataSource CPU4
• 4 queries will be replaced by 1 query

* CIMDataSource support zenperfwbem daemon collected performance data specified in CIMDataSource

* support for DataPoint Aliases (evaluate befor write RRD)

• before be saved in RRD, values will be evaluated by REVERSED alias.formula
• supported operations +, -, *, /
• tales variables: now, here
• Example:  
  • alias.formula = "100,/,1,-" replaced by "1,+,100,*"

• Why reversed? 
  • raw data: 100 -> "100,100,/,1,-" -> RRD: 0 -> "0,100,/,1,-" ->Report: -1 - False!
  • raw data: 100 -> "100,1,+,100,*" -> RRD: 10100 -> "10100,100,/,1,-" ->Report: 100 -True!

* support for dictionary as DataPoint Aliases (evaluate befor write RRD)

• Example:
  • "Unknown":0,"Other":1,"OK":2,"Warning":3,"Error":4

* added __path attribute for Wbem Insatnce

• __path attribute added to instance
• __path == instanceName
• Example:CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU3"

* WBEMPlugin CollectorPlugin added (any namespaces, tables format like in WMIPlugin)

• support for namespaces other than root/cimv2

* support for avg, count, sum, min, max function for datapoints with multiline result

• if query return multiple instance to zenperfwmi datemon, avg, count, sum, min, max value can be evaluated
• Example: Query: CIM_Processor, DataPoint:LoadPercentage_avg, Alias:LoadPercentage
  • CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU0" LoadPercentage=20
  • CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU1" LoadPercentage=40
  • CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU2" LoadPercentage=50
  • CIM_Processor.DeviceID="CPU3" LoadPercentage=30
  • Result in RRD: 35

* WbemProxy support

• Example: SAN Storage IP: 10.10.10.10, Server with SMI-S: 20.20.20.20
• for device SAN Storage zProperty zWbemProxy:20.20.20.20
