Tool to watch for WMI calls

I am doing some reverse engineering on a 3rd party program that is making some WMI calls to the namespace Root\HP\InstrumentedBIOS. Are there any tools similar to Process Monitor that allows me to monitor WMI calls performed by another application?

Starting with windows vista you can use the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) with the Event Viewer tool, check this MSDN article for more info Tracing WMI Activity.

Ignoring the specific application you have in mind, you might want to look into WMI logging/tracing as a way to gain more insight into WMI calls being made at run-time, e.g.:
