vShield Endpoint thin agent logging is done inside the protected virtual machines. The following registry entries are read at boot time from the Windows Registry, and are polled periodically:

  • log_dest
  • log_level

The registry keys are found in the following locations:

  • In vShield 1.0 x86 and x64: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VFileScsiFilter\Parameters\
  • In vShield 5.x x86 and x64: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\vsepflt\Parameters\

Both registry keys are DWORD bit masks that can be a combination of the following values:

  • log_dest:
    WINDBLOG 0x1
    VMWARE_LOG 0x2
  • log_level:
    AUDIT 0x1
    ERROR 0x2
    WARN 0x4
    INFO 0x8
    DEBUG 0x10
