GFI Network Server Monitor Introduction • 3
Support for nested folders
Nested folders (folders contained within other folders) are available in
the Enterprise/Consultant editions of GFI Network Server Monitor.
Through nested folders, you can organize monitoring checks into a
hierarchical structure that reflects specialized monitoring network
needs (e.g., grouping of monitoring checks by zone, companies being
served, or check type grouping).
Support for SQL Server database backend
Out of the box, the Consultants/Enterprise editions of GFI Network
Server Monitor can store monitoring data in MS Access as well as in
an SQL Server/MSDE database backend. This new SQL Server
support allows you to efficiently monitor and collect network status
data from environments which generate large volumes of monitoring
data. These include large networks as well as mission-critical
systems. You can configure which database backend to use both
during installation and after (i.e., from the configuration module).
