*** 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.

- 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
