We ran BB 1.9 for years, then switched to BBPE about three years ago. Earlier this month, Quest announced end-of-life for BBPE so we're looking at our options.
We have fewer than 500 clients reporting into Big Brother. But swapping them out for something else is going to painful and take time. If a xymon server will happily accept bb-client messages, then I could stand up a xymon server and replace clients through attrition.
Has anyone else recently gone down this path?
If anyone on here is old enough - they might recognize me as the original author of BB. And, yes Quest End-of-Lifed it earlier this month and I'm taking care of all the support until the EoL.
That having been said, I recommend moving to Xymon, and would be happy to help any BBPE users in any way I can.
