 Multiple Pages: Organize your
network into convenient pages
so you can place relevant portions together, and quickly go to
a specific area or specific network.
|
 OS Detection: Cheops can optionally
determine the OS of hosts
on the network, selecting appropriate icons for them.
|
 Find: Quickly find hosts on a large
network
|
 Mapping: Cheops can show you the routes taken
to access areas of your network. (This feature is designed for larger
networks, with routers, subnets, etc. If you only have a simple LAN
where all your hosts are connected with hubs, then it'll just draw a
bunch of lines between you and the other computers) This mapping not only
makes heirarchy clearer, but can show unusual routing issues, like this
unusual router triangle. Unfortunately, you have to place the machines
yourself, but cheops handles the interconnections :)
|
 Services: Right clicking on a host quickly
shows you a list of common services it supports, and rapid, easy access
to them.
|
 Multiple views: For large networks, you
can view the network with smaller icons, or even as a simple list of
networks. Layout is arrangeable by domain, hostname, IP address, etc and
searching is supported in both iconic and list formats.
|
 |
 Generalized Portscanner:
Cheops includes a generalized TCP port scanner to see what
ports on your network are in use.
|
 Service probing:
Retrieve version information for certain services, to be sure any
given host is up-to-date with the latest revision of its services.
|
 Highly Configurable: Cheops is highly
configurable both through text-based configuration files and
through a graphical "Options" dialog box.
|
 Integrated SNMP support: Cheops includes
a simple integrated SNMP browser, including write capability, using
the UCD SNMP library. Cheops also supports a plugin interface, which
includes support for SNMP plugins, similar in concept to those of
HP Openview.
|
 Monitoring support: Cheops can monitor your
critical servers, and immediately notify you through its event log,
standard e-mail, and soon via paging, when things go wrong. Know exactly
what's up or down, and just when problems occur.
