Creating reports gives you valuable information about the client computers. Reports also help when you re copying files and organizing computer lists. Collecting Report Data There are three search strategies that Apple Remote Desktop uses when searching for report information new data cached data and Spotlight data. With a new data search the Remote Desktop application queries a client directly and waits for the client computer to respond with the desired information. A new data search gets the most recent information but takes longer since the client computer has to gather all the data and send it over the network to the waiting administrator computer. New data reports are also generated by clients whose reporting policy is set to send data only in response to a report query. The second kind of data search is a cached data search. With a cached data search the application queries Apple Remote Desktop s internal database of collected system information such as hardware information and system settings file information including installed applications and versions and software names or both. You determine how often the data is collected and what type of data is stored. For more infomation about new and cached data searches see Setting the Client s Data Reporting Policy on page 169. Chapter 8 Administering Client Computers 121 The database which is a PostgreSQL database located at var db RemoteManagement RMDB can be accessed using other tools besides Remote Desktop. To find out more about the database schema see PostgreSQL Schema Sample on page 199. The third kind of data search is a Spotlight search. This is not a static report on saved data in a database but it s an interactive search of the client computers. A Spotlight search can only be done on client computers running Mac OS X or later.
