*** Web-based Monitoring & Notification for Systems and Networks ***

Big Brother is a combination of monitoring methods.
Unlike SNMP where information is just collected and devices polled,
Big Brother is designed in such a way that each local system broadcasts it's
own information to a central location. Simultaneously, Big Brother also polls
all networked systems from a central location. This creates a highly efficient
and redundant method for proactive network monitoring.
Features:               Monitors:
- Web-based status display      - dns nntp ftp smtp and pop3 testing
- Configurable warning and panic levels - connectivity via ping
- Notification via Pager or email   - http servers up and running
- Support for grouping of machines  - disk space usage
- Support for modem monitoring      - uptime and cpu usage
- Selectable paging delays      - essential processes are still running
- Heterogeneous Network Support     - messages and warnings
