Features

Here's a summary of the features SSC Serv offers:

Full protocol compatibility with collectd, now and in the future.
Excellent Windows® integration: Configuration in the Control Panel, program registered as a system service, error reporting using the Event Log.
Easy installation: Installation is done using the Windows® Installer, so it can be installed just like any other software.
Complete uninstallation: If you need to uninstall SSC Serv you can do that and it won't leave a trace. You won't be able to tell it was installed at all.
Advanced network techniques: As you should expect from a program that tries to be the collectd counterpart on Windows®, the advanced network features are supported, including IPv6 and multicast.

Data sources

The following data sources can currently be collected:

CPU utilization
Disk usage (throughput, operations per second)
Memory usage
Interface traffic
Partition usage (available and used bytes)
Terminal services (sessions)

Since SSC Serv is a relatively new program you can expect this list to grow in the next weeks and months.

Demo version

If you're interested in SSC Serv but want to give it a try first, please send an email to <info at ssc-serv.com> and we'll send you a demo version. These demo versions are not limited in any way, except that they will stop working after a couple of weeks. This gives you the opportunity to test SSC Serv thoroughly on as many machines as you like.

System requirements

SSC Serv has successfully been tested on the following versions of Microsoft® Windows®. Versions, that are not listed here, have not been tested, but basically all versions since Windows® 2000 should work.

Windows® 2003 Server
Windows® 2000
Windows® XP
Windows® Vista

SSC Serv is available as x86 (32-bit) and x86_64 (64-bit) binary. Running the x86 binary on a 64-bit version of Windows® unfortunately doesn't work.

Other than a compatible version of Microsoft® Windows®, there are no further dependencies - the service can simply be installed by downloading and executing the setup utility.
