WBEM/CIM protocol is needed to be enabled mode on ESX hosts?

Hi All,

Would like to know if on ESX hosts WBEM/CIM protocol is needed to be enabled mode? We are monitoring the ESX via both ways: directly via Vcenter for 1 instance and on other directly using ESX creds.

So what is the impact if CIM protocol is disabled, does it just loose out on hardware health or complete ESX host monitoring?
