SSC Serv, the System Statistics Collection Service

The main configuration window

In the main window of SSC Serv's configuration you can set the hostname which this instance should use and the server to which to send the collected data. In the server field you may specify an IP-address, a hostname of a multicast address. Of course both, IPv4 and IPv6, are supported by SSC Serv, but only Windows® XP and later have IPv6-support out of the box.
Also in this dialog is the slider to set the interval, in which data is collected. Changing this interval after some data has been collected usually is a bad idea or means a lot of work, so be careful what you do.

Control Panel integration

SSC Serv's configuration applet is fully integrated into the Control Panel. No annoying shortcut is bloating your start menu or filling up your desktop. Yet, you don't have to dig through the filesystem to find that hidden setup utility. It's exactly where it's supposed to be.

Nice and quiet

It is not SSC Serv's purpose to make a big fuss about it's existence. It's supposed to just be there when you need it and shut up in the meantime. As a service, you won't notice that SSC Serv is working in the background. If you want to know if it's running at all, or if you want to configure if the service should be started at system start, go to the "Services" window in "Administrative Tasks".
