Registry Test Method Question

[rsbomar]

I'm trying to create a registry monitor using a variable for the compare value. I've created a variable fvar_irisbuild and set the variable to 200. When I use %fvar_irisbuild% as the compare value with "is <> from" as the compare mode, the test fails. When I change the compare value to 200 and not the variable the test passes.

You cannot use variable in this field

Can you guys add that as a request. I want to add this test to 400 machines and that field will change about every 3 or 4 months which means I'd have to manually change 400 test. Not very efficient.

May be we can add option to SetTestParam/ReplaceTestParam HMScript commands, e.g.
ReplaceTestParam _AllRegistry Threshold "old value" "new value"

So that is something that isn't in there yet but you think would be easy to add?

Correct

If that is the quickest way. I would still prefer to use a variable for the field.

Version 11.54 allows to change limits specified for the tests using HMScript (SetTestParam, ReplaceTestParam, SetTestParamByID and ReplaceTestParamByID commands)
E.g.
SetTestParam _AllRegistry Threshold 555
SetTestParam "registry test B" Threshold 777

you may modify other test methods as well:
ReplaceTestParam _AllUPSTemp ThresholdUp 65 55
ReplaceTestParam _AllUPSTemp ThresholdDown 15 10
ReplaceTestParam _AllFreeSpace Threshold "20 %" "17 %"
ReplaceTestParam _AllFreeSpace Threshold "5 GB" "8 GB"
ReplaceTestParam _AllFreeSpace Threshold "6 GB" "15 %"
