12 May eiPower Agent Diagnostics Window
This diagnostics window shows the following information;
- Time to forced Standby/Hibernate
- Current value of the idle timer.
- Queue of unsent power events
- Queue of unsent Inactivity events
- List of all power policies.
- The currently active power policy
In the pre Tokyo releases of eiPower this diagnostics window is only available on Windows XP and Windows 2k3. To enable the diagnostics windows;
- Stop the Altiris Agent Service
- Open the registry key HK_LMSoftwareAltirisAltiris AgentPlugin ObjectsAgentseiPowerAgent
- Add a new String Value Name : Diagnostics, Data : 1
- Restart the Altiris Agent Service
In the Tokyo release the diagnostics window has been changed so that it now appears as an additional tab in the Altiris Agent Diagnostics page. Hence it is no longer necessary to follow the steps above to enable the diagnostics screen, instead you just enable the Altiris agent diagnostics in the standard way (regsvr32 AeXAgentDiagnostics.dll). This new diagnostics screen now also works on all supported operating systems (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Win2K3).
Additional March 2011
Releases post Dublin the mechanism to active the Diagnostics screen has again changed. This change was necessary because the eiPower Saver Agent runs as its own separate process and not within the Altiris Core Agent.
The following registry settings will enable the diagnostics screen for releases post Dublin
