UPDATE



What's new?



Development of Big Sister is slowly progressing
now - it starts looking stable :-)

Anyway, besides some bug fixes some new things
have been introduced:

    - support for SNMP traps:

      Big Sister does now send and receive SNMP
      traps (see HOWTO). The Big Sister MIB and
      trap configuration file for HP Openview
      are included

    - a few new monitors made their way into
      Big Sister

    - since Big sister does generate status
      pages in HTML format many users have
      reported a need for more descriptive
      and better formatted status messages.
      Support for this has been added to the
      Status Collector/Agent. Anyway the new
      feature is not widely used in the monitors
      yet.

    - you will find status lights appearing in
      the contents section of framed Big Sister
      status pages.

Please see CHANGES.PLAINTEXT and CHANGES files
for a more specific list of changes.
