Configuring appInfo

The
appInfo
 plug-in collects the information about running applications inside the guest and publishes the information to a guest variable.
  1. Retrieving the data:
    The data collected by the
    appInfo
     plug-in is retrieved as follows:
    • From inside the guest
      Linux guest
      • vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.appInfo"
      • vmware-rpctool "info-get guestinfo.appInfo"
      Windows guest
      • rpctool.exe "info-get guestinfo.appInfo"
  2. Changing the poll-interval:
    The
    appInfo
     plug-in captures the information in every 30 minutes by default. Guest admin can configure this poll-interval at anytime as follows:
    • Linux
      vmware-toolbox-cmd config set appinfo poll-interval <new value in seconds>
    • Windows
      VMwareToolboxCmd.exe config set appinfo poll-interval <new value in seconds>
  3. Disabling the appInfo plugin:
    Guest admin can disable the
    appInfo
     plug-in as follows:
    • Linux guest
      vmware-toolbox-cmd config set appinfo disabled true
       or
      vmware-toolbox-cmd config set appinfo poll-interval 0
    • Windows guest
      VMwareToolboxCmd.exe config set appinfo disabled true
       or
      VMwareToolboxCmd.exe config set appinfo poll-interval 0
