event, and logs an Error message in the Windows System Event Log if the System hive approaches

its maximum limit.

The next few sections explain the Service's capabilities and how to configure it for more advanced

scenarios.

Installing the HP Registry Monitor Service

The Registry Monitor Service is shipped as part of a larger Management Agent Package (either

SNMP Agents 6.2.1, or WBEM Providers 6.5). It comes in a single executable package that first

uninstalls the previous versions of the agents and then installs the newer versions. In most

situations, customization is not necessary. The advantage of this service is that it accurately

determines the true size of the System hive as opposed to its indicated size on disk, and provides

warnings should the size grow too large.

The HP Registry Monitor Service was added to HP Management Agents version 6.2.1. It is

downloadable from the HP website as Smart Component cp011353.exe. It is supported on

the following operating systems:

•

Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2

•

Windows Server 2008 with Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2

The Registry Monitor Service is also part of the WBEM Providers package in the HP Integrity

Support Pack version 6.5. Version 6.5 uses WBEM exclusively and is only supported on Windows

Server 2008.

The HP Registry Monitor Service, by default, checks the true size of the System hive and sends

a Warning message to the Windows Event Log and to any configured Management Station when

its size becomes greater than 24 MB. This warning is sent out once per day, typically at midnight,

since that is when the file is checked. If the System hive continues to grow after the Warning

message is sent, it replaces the Warning message with an Error message when the System hive

exceeds 28 MB.

Note that if the Registry Monitor Service was installed as part of SNMP Agents 6.2.1, the indicated

source of the event will be "HpEventLog". If the Registry Monitor Service was installed as part

of WBEM Providers 6.5, the indicated source of the event will be "HP System".
