7.1. Introduction

sFlowTrend-Pro can be optionally run as a service. This allows data to be collected continuously, regardless of whether you are logged in to the system or have the user interface active. When running in this way, sFlowTrend-Pro is split into two parts: the server, which is responsible for collecting and analysing sFlow data, and the client, which is used to view the data and create charts. By running sFlowTrend-Pro in this way, you can be sure of continuous data collection, and allow different people in your organisation to access the data easily.

Two clients are available, one which is used to access the server running on the same system as the client, and another optional client which can access data on a remote system.

The option to run sFlowTrend-Pro as a service is determined when you purchase the product or request an evaluation. If you would like to change to the service option, please submit a support request http://www.myinmon.com.
