On the operating system side both Windows and UNIX (over ssh) are supported. The user can choose whether to use shell for UNIX logins. Insider collects and analyzes statistics it gets from the servers it monitors. The longer a database is monitored the more Insider knows about its functional and performance characteristics adjusting its visual display to help better interpret the meaning of the server performance statistics. In order to avoid showing short-time peaks averaging is used to smoothen the values where appropriate.
