Microsoft.Windows.Discovery.RegistryProviderSingle

The Microsoft.Windows.Discovery.RegistryProviderSingle module is a discovery data source module type that queries the Windows registry for a single value or key at a scheduled frequency and returns the results as Microsoft.Windows.RegistryData type data.

Usage

Use this module when you want to query the Windows registry and return the data within a workflow such as a rule or monitor. If you want to retrieve multiple values or keys, use the Microsoft.Windows.RegistryProvider module. Using this module in any workflow other than a discovery workflow can cause serious performance degradation.

Parameters

The Microsoft.Windows.Discovery.RegistryProviderSingle module supports the configuration parameters described in the following table.

Parameter	Type	Overrideable	Description
ComputerName	String	False	Required parameter. The name of the computer from which to query the registry.
AttributeName	ID	False	Required parameter. An identifier for the value in the output data item. The identifier must consist only of letters, numbers, the underscore, hyphen, and period. Digits, the hyphen, and the period cannot be used to start the name.
Path	String	False	Required parameter. The path to collect in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This path can be a key or a value.
PathType	Integer	False	Required parameter. Specifies whether the path is a key or a value. 0—Specifies that the path is to a key, for which the existence of the key should be checked. 1—Specifies that the path is to a value that should be retrieved.
AttributeType	Integer	False	Required parameter. The data type of the value to return: 0—Boolean 1—String 2—Integer 3—Float Values 1, 2, and 3 are used only when the PathType parameter is set to 1.
Frequency	Unsigned Integer	True	Required parameter. Specifies the frequency, in seconds, at which to run the query over the Windows registry.
RegistryView	RegistryViewType	False	Optional parameter. Specifies the registry view type to access. If unspecified, defaults to a value of “default”.

For more information about the ComputerName parameter, see the Microsoft.Windows.RegistryProbe module.

For more information about the AttributeName, Path, PathType, RegistryView, and AttributeType parameters, see the RegistryAttributeDefinitionsType schema type.

For more information about the Frequency parameter, see the System.Discovery.Scheduler module.

Composition

The Microsoft.Windows.Discovery.RegistryProviderSingle module is a composite module that contains the member modules described in the following table.

Workflow Run Order	Module Type	Usage
1	System.Discovery.Scheduler	Triggers the subsequent probe module to run at a scheduled, recurring interval in discovery workflows.
2	Microsoft.Windows.RegistryProbe	Runs the query on the Windows registry and returns Microsoft.Windows.RegistryData data.

Module Type	Usage
Microsoft.Windows.RegistryProvider	Queries Windows registry values or keys and returns Microsoft.Windows.RegistryData data.
Microsoft.Windows.Discovery.RegistryProviderSingle	Queries a single Windows registry value or key and returns Microsoft.Windows.RegistryData data.
Microsoft.Windows.Discovery.RegistryProvider	Queries Windows registry keys or values and returns Microsoft.Windows.RegistryData data. This type has simpler configuration, but only a single value or key can be specified. This should be used only from within a data source module type definition that returns discovery data.
Microsoft.Windows.FilteredRegistryDiscoveryProvider	Queries the Windows registry on a timed interval and returns System.Discovery.Data data. This type takes an expression to filter data on.
Microsoft.Windows.RegistryDiscoveryProvider	Queries the Windows registry and returns System.Discovery.Data data. No filtering of data is provided in this module type. This should be used only when you know that the registry keys and values will always be present.
Microsoft.Windows.RegistryDiscoverySingleProvider	Queries the Windows registry for a single key or value and returns System.Discovery.Data data. No filtering of data is provided in this module type. This should be used only when you know that the registry keys and values will always be present.

External Module References

None.
