      VMware Management Pack Registry Settings

      The VMware MP uses Windows Registry settings to control various operational behaviors. This article explains the registry keys used by the module, their default values, and how you can configure them to override the default behavior.

      Registry Base Paths

      All settings are under:

      • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpsLogix\VMware\

        • Collector\ — Collector-wide settings

        • Client Modules\<ModuleName>\ — Module-specific overrides

      Supported Registry Settings

      Collector Settings

      Setting Name Registry Key Type Default
      Emulation Mode EmulationMode at ...VMware\Collector\ DWORD 0
      Debug Level DebugLevel at ...VMware\Collector\ DWORD 0
      MOB Page Size MOBPageSize at ...VMware\Collector\ DWORD 10
       

      Use EmulationMode = 1 to simulate collector behavior without connecting to real infrastructure.

      Module Settings

      Setting Name Registry Key Type Default
      Debug Level DebugLevel under ...Client Modules\<ModuleName>\ DWORD null (optional override)
      Timeout TimeOutSec under ...Client Modules\<ModuleName>\ DWORD 1800 (discovery), 360
      PB Page Size PBPageSize under ...Client Modules\<ModuleName>\ DWORD 0 (discovery), 350
       

      • You can also define DebugLevel, TimeOutSec, and PBPageSize under ...Client Modules\ to apply defaults to all modules.

      Precedence and Fallbacks

      1. Module-specific values take precedence.

      2. If not set, shared module base settings are checked.

      3. If none are found, built-in defaults are used.

      Example: Registry Commands

       
      reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpsLogix\VMware\Collector" /v EmulationMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
      reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpsLogix\VMware\Client Modules\HostDiscovery" /v DebugLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
      reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpsLogix\VMware\Client Modules" /v TimeOutSec /t REG_DWORD /d 300 /f

      Make sure you run these commands with administrator privileges.
