Why NetResident service insists on starting if I just want to review LOG files and not capture current data?
.The database is maintained by the service. The GUI is simply a console that “talks” to the service. All data processing and filtering is performed by the service as well, so it has to be running.Q. I have NetResident set up to start monitoring only when the application is running, and not to start with Windows. I noticed that after I shut down NetResident, the service process, “tfsnrs.exe” continues to run in Task Manager. Why does it continue to run?A.Running the service and monitoring are different things. The service must be active at all times to be able to “talk” to the GUI. This doesn’t mean that the service is capturing data at all times. It is capturing data only on demand. In theory, if the application is configured to capture data only when the GUI is running, one could start the service when the GUI starts and stop it when the GUI stops, but starting the service is a bit slow and, most importantly, that cannot be done remotely, when the service and GUI are running on differ
