Database maintenance options
Introduction
Screenshot 130 - Database Options
Through the ‘Database Maintenance Options’ node, you can select
and configure the database backend to use for the storing of
monitoring results data. You can choose between MS Access and MS
SQL Server as a database backend. In the case of SQL Server, you
can also specify the type of authentication to use when logging onto
the database (SQL Server authentication or Windows authentication).
Windows NT authentication mode allows you to log onto the SQL
Server database using your Windows account details. The SQL
Server authentication mode allows you to log on to the database using
the SQL Server account details (i.e., the credentials stored in ACL
tables of SQL Server).

Servers visit

NOTE: Support for SQL Server database backend is only available
during evaluation and in the Consultants/Enterprise editions of GFI
Network Server Monitor.
