Xymon is a system for monitoring servers and networks. It has a great deal
|
2008-01-28 17:01:17 +01:00
|
|
|
of inspiration from the Big Brother monitor, but unlike Big Brother it is
|
|
|
|
designed to work well whether you need to monitor small network with just
|
|
|
|
a handful of hosts, or large networks with thousands of hosts.

Xymon is the successor to the bbgen toolkit, which has been available as
|
2008-01-28 17:01:17 +01:00
|
|
|
an add-on to Big Brother since late 2002. The name change was decided upon
|
2011-04-02 16:26:29 +02:00
|
|
|
when Xymon acquired enough functionality to be a stand-alone product.
|
|
|
|
The tools that formed the bbgen toolkit are still present in Xymon

|
|
|
and are quite important for it, so if you have used bbgen before,
|
2011-04-02 16:26:29 +02:00
|
|
|
Xymon will seem quite familiar.
