Hi there,
It is not possible to add WMI based sensors to a Cisco device. Please note that WMI is a protocol that only Windows supports:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wmisdk/wmi-start-page
You can use the SNMP based sensors for your Cisco device, for example the SNMP Traffic Sensor:
https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/snmp_traffic_sensor
There are also various Cisco Sensors, that use SNMP as well.
Best regards.
