Another monitoring tool that is similar to Big Brother is Nagios, which used to be called Netsaint. We have it installed and running, I found it a little easier to configure then Big Brother, especially around notifications.

As far as I can see, BigBrother seems to be a good tool. I'll download it and test it. What's also good is that it may be used in combination with Spotlight from Quest.... We also need this tool be capable of monitoring networks and OS issuees as well. Thanks again.
