wbem (Source)

When To Use

Use wbem when the target exposes CIM/WBEM endpoints and you need structured CIM query results.

For Windows-native environments, wmi is usually the first choice.

Syntax

sources:
  diskInventory:
    type: wbem
    namespace: root/cimv2
    query: SELECT DeviceID, Model, Size FROM CIM_DiskDrive

Properties

Property Required Default Description
type Yes None wbem.
query Yes None WBEM/CIM query.
namespace No Provider default WBEM namespace.
executeForEachEntryOf No None Fan-out execution context.
computes No [] Post-processing pipeline.
forceSerialization No false Serialize execution via a per-connector, per-host lock (see the Sources overview). Default false.
  • Select only required columns.
  • Always set namespace explicitly for clarity.
  • Keep key fields (__PATH, IDs) until join operations are complete.

Common Mistakes

  • Using broad SELECT * queries.
  • Dropping path/identity columns before joins.
  • Mixing WBEM and WMI key formats without explicit normalization.

Examples

No current community connector uses source type wbem.

Note

wbem remains part of the official source model and is useful for non-Windows CIM providers.
