Registry File

A Registry File (with .reg extension) is a text file that contains a snapshot of Windows Registry entries. In the context of Adiscon products (WinSyslog, EventReporter, MonitorWare Agent), registry files are used to export and import complete product configurations.

Registry files enable: - Configuration backup - Save your entire product configuration - Mass deployment - Apply the same configuration to multiple systems - Configuration sharing - Share configurations between team members - Disaster recovery - Quickly restore configurations after system failures

The registry file can be created through the product’s client interface using the “Export Settings to Registry File” option, and imported silently using: regedit.exe /s configuration.reg

This makes registry files an essential tool for enterprise deployments and configuration management.
