Bigboos is a network monitoring software built in Perl, it groups devices using configuration for easier management.
The main protocols used by Bigboos are the icmp ping and snmp protocols. This software can be installed on a desktop machine and doesn't require a stand-alone machine to work on. Many of the processes are done in the background, making it a great tool for monitoring. Bigboos is designed to purely serve as a monitoring platform, with a database manager that can store small customer details.
The trouble ticket generating and managing features make it easy to report and track issues. Bigboos also provides current status updates about the device being monitored and generates downtime reports based on the status. The latest release of Bigboos has a new host deletion feature, and the front-end minor bugs were rectified.
Overall, Bigboos is a well-designed software that is ideal for medium-sized ISPs. It is easy to use and provides real-time information about system outages and device status. The software is an excellent choice for network administrators in need of a monitoring tool.
