Description - MetaLAN ProbeServer



ProbeServer is a free add-on for MetaLAN Administrator. Please use MetaLAN Administrator 1.8.5.100 or later. ProbeServer is a service that runs on a computer on your network. It collects the same data as MetaLAN Administrator but stores this information centrally for quick retrieval. When using MetaLAN Administrator on networks with over 200 nodes or when more than 1 administrator is using MetaLAN. However, ProbeServer will work on smaller networks and MetaLAN Administrator can run in standalone mode on any sized network if desired. Benefits over using MetaLAN in standalone mode: * Reduced network load. ProbeServer will reduce and distribute the network load required for data collection. Without ProbeServer MetaLAN collects data in real time when requested. If several administrator/tech support staff are using MetaLAN, the same data may be collected numerous times over a short period of time. * Centralized persistent data storage. ProbeServer offers a central location for collecting and distributing the data collected from the computers on your network. When running ProbeServer the freshness of the data is configurable and data is available for computers that are currently offline. The offline/online status is highlighted in MetaLAN along with the other information collected. * Admin privileges not required by staff. MetaLAN users do not need administrative privileges on client computers to view the data collected from those computers. By Default the everyone group has access to this data which is stored in the Probe$ share on the computer running the ProbeServer Service. To restrict access to this data appropriate security may be applied to this share.
