Retrieve monitor information with Insight Discovery

[Tyler Seabridge]

Good Afternoon,

So I am trying to figure out how to pull monitor data using the Insight discovery tool.

From what I am seeing, I should be able to run a scan using Powershell and therefore query info from the device using PowerShell. But, when I attempt to run a PS pattern, no results appear in the log or scan files. 

To make sure that anything was working, I ran both the normal printer pattern alongside the PS monitor pattern and could receive info for the printers but nothing would return for the monitors.

The standard monitor pattern isn't robust enough, so I am attempting to modify it with little luck on my own.

Anyone have any clues about this?

Hi @Tyler Seabridge 

I've recently tried Discovery Windows_Peripherie_Monitor pattern on a PC and it retrieved the following information according to the scan log:

Generic PnP Monitor

Since this data is too generic, I would like to use a better pattern for monitors. Any chance you are using one?
