Remote management and monitoring of computer systems in telematics

The development of transport systems is largely supported by telematic systems, therefore it is necessary to ensure their high availability and reliability of IT systems. The authors of the article, recognizing this important problem, have developed software for remote management and monitoring of the computer systems used in transport telematic systems. The software uses WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) technology, which is the Microsoft implementation of Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM). The WMI service uses a Common Information Model (CIM) to represent managed network components (i.e. computers, printers, disks, memory, CPUs, processes). All these objects represent a set of information that could be described in a data model and can be stored in the WMI database - CIM repository. In the paper, the authors present the methodology of using this technology and its practical implementation in software. The conducted researches confirmed the great usefulness of this standard in the diagnostics of computer systems used in transport telematic systems.
