Database Command Timeout

I am getting periodic timeouts writing to our external SQL DB (due to be upgraded).

I am running KIWI 9.3.3 and I went into the registry to modify the db command timeout key hoping it would help.

The help file for the installed KIWI daemon shows the following info:

Database Command Timeout

Section: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolarWinds\Syslogd\Properties

Value (STRING): DBCommandTimeout

Min value:        0 (No timeout - not recommended)

Max value:        120

Default value:        30

Type:                Timeout in seconds

This key does not exist. I assume I can just stop the daemon, add the key and reboot the server?

If the key is not there where is the KIWI service getting the timeout setting and is it still at the default of 30 sec?

Thanks,

BobL.
