Registry Variables

Registry variables are used to control the operation of the Windows event log adapter. Changes made to registry variables take effect immediately; there is no need to stop and restart the adapter. Use the registry editor (regedt32) provided by Windows to view and modify registry variables.

Note: It is not necessary to modify the registry variables for the Windows event log adapter to function. The registry variables are automatically set to the correct default values when the Windows event log adapter is installed.

All of the registry variables for the Windows event log adapter are located in the

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentControlSet\Services\TECWinAdapter directory. The following are the adapter registry variables:

Note: When you change the registry entries for any registry variable with a name ending with EventsProcessedTimeStamp, you must also change the registry entries for the corresponding registry variable with a name ending with EventsProcessed. For example, if you change the registry entry for ApplicationEventsProcessedTimeStamp, you must also change ApplicationEventsProcessed.

If both values are not changed, the adapter ends unexpectedly, the PollingInterval criteria are met, and a message similar to the following is sent:

msg=’TECWinAdapter shuts down.Error: older event on \

ApplicationEventsProcessed : (1,920433843) vs last processed \ event(1,923673952).’;

To prevent this, stop the adapter and then make the necessary registry changes. When you restart the adapter, a consistency check updates the registry entry for the appropriate variable ending with EventsProcessed to match the correct value based on the corresponding variable ending with EventsProcessedTimeStamp.

ApplicationEventsProcessed

Contains the highest event number in the Windows Application Log that the adapter has processed. The adapter uses this variable to keep track of how many events it has read and sent to the event server so that the adapter can start at the next event the next time it polls the log. You can lower the ApplicationEventsProcessed variable if you want an event to be read and processed again. To process all messages in the Application Log, set the ApplicationEventsProcessed variable to 1.

ApplicationEventsProcessedTimeStamp

Contains the time stamp for the corresponding event identified by the value of the ApplicationEventsProcessed variable.

DirectoryEventsProcessed

Contains the highest event number in the Windows active directory server log that the adapter has processed. The adapter uses this variable to keep track of how many events it has read and sent to the event server so that the adapter can start at the next event the next time it polls the log. You can lower the DirectoryEventsProcessed variable if you want an event to be read and processed again. To process all messages in the Directory Service Log, set the DirectoryEventsProcessed variable to 1.
