Why do we need SQL data collection?
Data collection on objects in your system can be used for multiple reasons:

• Internal status monitoring
• Trends analysis and history collection
• Counter and state based event generation

and more...

The common uses of the SQL data collection agent is for advanced correlations on data located in the data base. History values are important too.

The SQL data collection agent is created for large scale operations. It can collect information from many databases simultaneously.

The product enables defining event triggers based on the data collected. The event triggers launch user defined commands, for example, SNMP traps, or any other type of command.

The agent is created to perform this operation very fast using asynchronous operations and complex algorithms. The agent does not wait for a response from a given node to monitor other nodes.

It contains many flow control parameters that enable it to work in all kinds of networks.
On the node level, the agent supports:

• Monitoring frequency
• Monitoring hours
