Hi! Group Does anyone use BB (Big Brother) monitoring tool? I've just installed BB on one of my Server running Linux. How do I get this to monitor my gateway Router connection? Any idea ?

Cheers

Hi,

You need to configure an entry for this in bb-hosts file. This file lives in the etc dir of bb install. There should be some examples in that file as follows:

# # THE BIG BROTHER HOSTS FILE # # THIS FILE SHOULD BE THE SAME ON ALL SYSTEMS RUNNING BIG BROTHER # CHANGE THIS FILE TO REFLECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT! # 192.168.116.1 x.bb4.com # BBPAGER BBNET BBDISPLAY ftp pop3 http://x.bb4.com/ 192.168.117.1 bobo.bb4.com # ftp smtp dns page web BB4 Web Servers group-compress <H3><I>Web Servers</I></H3> 192.168.117.2 ns2.bb4.com # ftp smtp noping 192.168.117.3 ns3.bb4.com # ftp !smtp 192.168.117.4 ns4.bb4.com # ftp smtp page modem Modem page group <H3><I>Modem Banks</I></H3> dialup modem-bank1 192.168.117.1 16 dialup modem-bank2 192.168.117.17 16 dialup modem-bank3 192.168.117.33 16 # Summaries are always displayed on the main page # Use this directive to send to another BBDISPLAY (e.g. 192.168.116.1) # The summary tag should be in the xxx.yyy format (e.g. canada.bc) # Do NOT define a tag like this: canada.bc.vancouver #summary canada.bc 192.168.116.1 http://www.iti.qc.com/iti/users/sean/bb/

[/snip]

Also go through all the README, specially the ones in install dir and in the root dir of BB .

I agree with Frank, nagios is better tool. However, if you have already installed BB and want to get monitoring going quickly, hope this helps.

Thanks,

Thought I'd update the list on what we've been doing with broadband in Fiji.

In March this year we rolled out our wireless network (pre-WiMAX) in Suva.

The system capabilities are:

Line of site - 30km Non line of sight - 7km B/W - burst to 7Mbps

We've got a few hundred customers on the wireless network today.

...

From June this year we've been rolling out our ADSL network (ADSL2+).

Within the next two months we'll have all the urban areas covered by broadband.

We've learnt quite a bit from setting up these networks and so if anyone is looking to setup broadband networks, we'd be happy to share our experiences.

Thanks for the update Alfred. I understand there's massive drops or tariff rebalanced for phone & Internet rates this month. Also a new ISP - broadband wireless provider is operating in Fiji.

Good feedback for next PacNOG event or even to keep this list active :) Any other pac islands made any significant Internet service offerings? I read a report that Cook Islands also have wireless hotspots in Rarotonga - robert??

Folks just another reminder about fellowships to APRICOT 2006 if you are interested to attend. http://www.apricot2006.net/index.php/fuseaction/home.fellowship for now send EOI to apricot@congresswest.com.au

rgds, Save
