ProbeServer Database Service for MetaLAN.

• 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.
