Description:

Big Brother is the simplest tool for monitoring your IP-network for troubles. It gives you a comprehensive picture of what happened to any point on the Net that you put in. Just add the host of interest by specifying it's IP address or hostname and optional short description for your information.

Here is a brief summary of Big Brother features:

• Uses ICMP ping to monitor hosts.
• Not being a swiss army knife of network monitoring Big Brother isn't loaded with complicated features of no use
• Has a misleading name
• Organizes hosts into a hierarchical tree, giving you comprehensive picture tailored to suit your needs and please your aesthetic feelings
• Propagates properties pertaining to ancestors to descendants unless overridden
• Presents the results as a graphical view and logs relevant events into file
• Can run in background, taking up a 256 pixels of screen nicely packed as a 16x16 square in your notification tray area
• Open source for those willing to add missing features, fix bugs and examine code for potential flaws and fun
• You're free to torture it the way you want to as long as you preserve original author's credentials
