# BizTalk360 Does Not Trigger Alerts; "Cannot connect to WMI provider"

## **Check the WMI Service is running**

When you do not receive any notification alerts from BizTalk360, even though it was working fine in the past, we recommend performing the following steps to check the health of the BizTalk360 Monitoring service (and to see if there are any exception error messages).

- Navigate to **BizTalk360 Settings** page
- Select **BizTalk360 Health** from the left menu
- Select **Monitoring Services Status**

Verify if the monitoring service and its **sub-services** are running without any exception error messages. If there are any exception messages, you will notice an eye icon. Clicking the icon will display the exception details.

## **Cause of the problem**

There may be certain occasions when you see an exception (related to the WMI service), such as:
