Monitoring registry entries

Hello,



I'm trying to monitor a value in the windows registry. However, when I supply the value name and value (for the value name), Serverscheck responds with "Key not found". If I remove the optional key value name and value, Serverscheck responds with "OK".



Thanks...

Make sure you enter the correct settings.



For example:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain



Key value name: Error Dlg Details Pane Open

Value for value name: yes



-> these options only work for string based types of registry entries (not REG_DWORD types)

Just to be clear, does that mean if I wanted to check for the existence (not value) of a d-word key value name, I wouldn't be able to in Serverscheck?

That is correct as it will check for an empty value and the value is not empty.

Thanks for your help!

Pls help. when i try your example on the serverscheck server itself with

localhost (127.0.0.1) then i get error

Could not connect to remote registry



if i use admin account, then i get error:



ERROR: 1312 - A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated



So, how do i get the registry check working ?

found it!.

to run the registry check on the serverscheck server itself,

then you must:

-have the remote registry service running

-do not run the serverscheck services on local system account, but a user with sufficient rights

-use the same account for the registry check.



background for my requirements:

The serverscheck server also contains other complicated monitoring software which passes summarized alarm status via the registry to serverscheck.



Well, it is working now.
