WMI, or Windows Management Instrumentation, provides an OS interface to getting and modifying data (on system resources, devices and so on). To facilitate that, specific client software exists (in case built-in Windows scripting capabilities are not enough).
WMI clients, developed for both Windows and non-Windows platforms, allow to perform WMI-enabled actions without involving into complex scripting, also allowing to perform WMI-based control from remote non-Windows platforms. These clients, such as WMI Client for Linux or WMI tools for Windows can allow easy watching and/or changing system parameters, and can also be used to interface with third-party pieces of software (such as monitoring frameworks Nagios or Cacti).
