Minimum permission required for reading WMI data via NRPE+NRPE_NT ?

[Matthew Joyce]

Hi all,

I'd like to start using NRPE with NRPE_NT to monitor some performance
counters.
Everything works fine with my domain admin account, but not with my
standard account.

I'm not comfortable having an DA account credential sitting in a config
file on the nagios machine.

What permissions are required to read WMI data ?
And how are they assigned ?

I thought perhaps I would create limited access account and assign perms
using WMI Control, but  that hasn't worked.


Thanks
