The Computer tags dialog helps the counter configuration, simplifying WMI data manipulation.

The Computer Tags window

The tag Properties Toolbar has 5 buttons:
 

Add tag: Add a Raw or a User tag.

tag Properties: Shows all properties of the selected tag.

Remove tag: Delete all selected tags.

Enable All tags: Marks all scanned/added variables. When prompted for avoiding Dynamic Table elements, the system will not select items belonging to dynamic tables. This is necessary to avoid slowdowns in data acquisition, since dynamic items can be taken offline anytime.

Disable All tags: Deactivate the server scan for all tags in this tab.

Below the tag Properties Toolbar we have the Search Bar. This bar filters all tags by the column selected in the Search in drop-down list using the match expression in the Look For box.

The filter system

Three tabs are found. They classify all tags:
 

Performance tags

Raw tags

User tags

Below these three tabs, exist a Drag-and-drop grouping bar. To use it, drag a column header on it. Then, all tags will group by that column.

You can group tags using more than one column. For example: to group tags by tag Type and secondly by Enable column, drag the tag Type column to filter and then, drag the Enable column too. More than two classifications are possible.

When dragging a column to it, two green arrows will appear indicating the column position. These features allow you to manage easily your groups.

Using the Drag-and-drop grouping bar

In the right of a column header you will find a triangle in high relief for sort tags.

Sorting groups are allowed too. To make this possible, click on the high relief triangle in the right of each column in the drag-and-drop grouping bar.

Finally, below the tag List we have the tag Actions Toolbar. This toolbar has only 3 buttons:
 

Scan Performance tags: Scan the current computer for Performance tags.

Scan WMI Objects: Scans the selected computer for published WMI counters, adding them in the Raw tags.

Abort Scan: Abort current scan.
