It lastet so long, because of personal time constraints and based
on the fact, that I had to do the very time consuming task, to
revamp the whole big brother installation heavily.
This could be avoided, if Sean could provide a Makefile with a real
install: target and not the drainbamaged
"unpack, compile and let the whole sh**^H^H^H^Hbunch
remain here(tm)" philosophy."
(me lucky one, that apsfilter has changed about 1-2 years ago ;-)
- make install target now copies the workdir to ${PREFIX}/bb
and then moves or removes files and directories as needed
- revamped client configuration and introduced a
${PREFIX}/share/bb/bbclients
directory.
Hope you like it this way ;-)

*** 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
