Targeting Individual Entries

FlexNet Manager Suite ()

Use this process (as many times as required) on your inventory server to specify an individual registry entry, collected from an inventory device and uploaded as part of the inventory (.ndi) file, that you want imported into the inventory database. Thereafter, the next full inventory import and license compliance calculation (typically scheduled overnight) makes the specified registry setting visible in the WMI sub-tab of the Evidence tab of the inventory device properties.

To specify a registry entry for import:
On the inventory server, start regedit.

Navigate to exactly this path:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\ManageSoft Corp\Managesoft\Reporter\Current Version\Registry

Create a sub-key with a meaningful name that allows for easy maintenance.

For example, you might name this key after the related software product that is being tracked. If you are tracking the Flexera uploader on an inventory device, you might name this tracking key something like IDUploader.
Under this key, insert the following values (name/data pairs):

Name	Data
ClassType	Mandatory $if you do not correctly create this value, the import of an individual registry entry fails$. The ClassType must be set to exactly this value: ``` Win32_Registry ```
InterestedPath	Specify the path of the registry key that is to be imported from inventory. Tip: You may use either the full form of the key root $such as `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE`$ or its short form $such as `HKLM`$.
InterestedName	Name the entry within the specified key that is to be imported.
Description	This will be displayed in the web interface as both the Property name and Raw property name values. You must specify this special value: ``` $Path ``` This uses the full path of the registry entry as its display name. Tip: Other values that can be used in different settings may not be used when targeting an individual registry entry.

Save your changes, and close regedit.

Example:To display the location set for the log files for the uploader component of FlexNet Inventory Agent (on the inventory device, this is recorded in *\[Registry\]*\ManageSoft\ Uploader\CurrentVersion\LogFile), you might configure the following registry values under *\[Registry\]*\ManageSoft\Reporter\CurrentVersion\Registry\IDUploader on your inventory server:

Name	Data
ClassType	`Win32_Registry`
InterestedPath	`HKLM\SOFTWARE\ManageSoft Corp\ManageSoft\Uploader\CurrentVersion`
InterestedName	`LogFile`
Description	`$Path`
After the next full inventory import and license compliance calculations, this is displayed in the WMI sub-tab of the Evidence tab of the inventory device properties, and likely displays the default value of `$(TempDirectory)\ManageSoft\uploader.log`.
