Windows-Specific Requirements
For Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), ensure that:
-
WMI is enabled
-
Windows Management Instrumentation service (
winmgmt) is running
Breeze uses WMI to collect the following data from Windows hosts:
-
Operating system version and product type
-
Service discovery and management
If WMI is unavailable, affected plugins log errors and skip WMI-dependent data collection. Other agent functionality (disk, processes, users, Windows Updates) uses native Win32 APIs and is not affected.

Breeze requires outbound internet access on the port TCP 443 only
-
Breeze does not require any inbound connections and can be deployed on private networks and servers with no public IP addresses
