Can you help me with my Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) entry?

[jip31]

hi

i have created a WMI entry in wmi.conf

wql = SELECT Model FROM Win32_ComputerSystem

When I execute it with WMI explorer, i get results.

But, I get no results in my Splunk query even if i play with the time token.

What is the problem please??

I use this as my wmi.conf, and the last line for systeminfo works like a charm.

# WMI FOR appdev INDEX
#replace the index = line with the correct index 
#place this file in C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\apps\Splunk_TA_windows\local

max_backoff = 20
