I have a question regarding this . I was trying to understand how this work without an agent on the device , but as far as i understand

Wug will call the WMI and ask him to collect a specific event log and send a notification to WUG when it occurs ... correct ???

So, on the device , there must be a place somewhere , maybe in the WMI registry , where the IP of the WUG is registered , so the WMI

knows where to send the notification ....correct ???

If i am wrong , can you please explain to me how all this work...

And if i am correct , it brings the following question;

Lets say i configure WUG to monitor a specific event on a device . And 2 months later i decide i don't need to monitor this device

anymore, so i delete it from the map. Will the device continu to send notifications to WUG ? Do i have to remove the Event monitoring

before i delete the device ?

thanks
