Documentation forServer Configuration Monitor
Monitoring server configurations is a key capability of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly Hybrid Cloud Observability) and is available in the Advanced edition.

Custom profiles in SCM

These tasks are not available to all Server Configuration Monitor (SCM) users. See User restrictions for details.

You can use custom profiles to create sets of files and directories you want to monitor that aren't covered by the out-of-the-box profiles.

If a custom profile contains an element that targets the same file or registry as another profile, that file or registry will be reported twice. For example, if one profile is monitoring C:\foo\*.config and another is monitoring the more specific path C:\foo\bar.config, then the file C:\foo\bar.config will be doubled in SCM.
