Registry Monitoring Tool Helps Track Registry Changes
Track registry changes and measure performance impacts
Monitor registry changes with change alerts sent in near real time
SolarWinds® Server Configuration Monitor (SCM) registry monitoring tools are built to monitor registry changes in near real time to help you never miss an issue. With a customizable notification system, you can more easily stay up to date on registry changes stemming from user action or software installs. SCM displays—and allows you to examine and analyze—changes as they occur rather than aggregating activity data at specific intervals, providing line-by-line granular data for a more accurate view into the registry.
Analyze the performance impact of seemingly insignificant changes
SCM makes it easier to see how registry changes correlate with performance by automatically comparing registry changes with the performance and availability of your systems and applications to create a digestible, visual timeline. This timeline view can allow you to analyze real-time and historic performance metrics and more easily pinpoint the specific registry activities affecting Windows server performance.
Gain deeper visibility and user transparency across your environment
The registry monitoring tools in SCM can allow you to detect and compare registry changes made to your servers, databases, and software applications and send alerts and notifications to key stakeholders. Server Configuration Monitor is designed to show exactly who made changes to files and registry entries, helping simplify investigating changes, improving team-wide accountability, resolving issues, and monitoring for signs of anomalous or unusual behavior.
Streamline operations with efficient registry-editing scripts
SCM Windows registry monitoring features are designed to help you track specific registry values according to customizable PowerShell script indicators. The registry tracking tool allows you to manage and use scripts and monitor their output with relevant alerts. SCM can also help you save time and boost productivity by automating routine tasks, such as manually analyzing data and implementing registry scripts that tell you what you need to know.
Establish baseline configurations for more efficient alerting and config change analysis
While the ability to configure each node is critical, the time it takes to manually configure the registry settings for each node can quickly add up, especially for larger, complex networks and environments.
SCM allows you to set and redefine a baseline configuration on a node individually and for large-scale node adjustments or rollouts. After a baseline is set, you can receive alerts when a node deviates from the configuration baseline. You can also use SCM to compare configurations over time to see when configs changed and drill down line by line to see what changes were made.

Do you find yourself asking…
On Windows devices, the registry is a centralized database where settings, configurations, and options for the device’s hardware, applications, and operating system are stored. This simplifies the process of managing custom preferences or configurations for Windows servers.
Windows Registry organizes settings and configuration values by top-level categories, or “hives.” The number of hives varies by operating system.
