Big Brother Professional Edition (BBPE, or just Big Brother) is a software tool for monitoring computers, processes on those computers, and other devices--for example, routers--with IP addresses on your network. The physical locations of the machines being monitored are not important; you can monitor computer networks remotely, 24 hours a day. Big Brother generates a status web page that can be viewed internally or externally, and can notify one or more people--via e-mail or pager--of any condition that may require attention. Big Brother consists of two parts: a server and a client.
