BigLan Network Monitoring System
BigLan helps system administrators and network engineers map, monitor, and keep an up-to-date device inventory for medium to large internal networks — including the ones nobody got around to documenting. Built for informed decisions, not dashboards for dashboards' sake.
Key Features
Interactive Topology
Creates an interactive network topology with minimal human intervention, showing the devices connected to the endpoints, their connections, and their status in real time.
Real-time Monitoring
Monitors SNMP status changes, port or IP availability, server services, external sensors, and network outages by continuously checking workstations. Sends an immediate alert when specified conditions occur.
Up-to-date Device Inventory
BigLan keeps track of computers, laptops, servers, network devices, network printers, operating systems and peripherals.
Security Risk Management
The workstation utility monitors and immediately reports connections to storage devices (pendrive, mobile phone, external HDD) and remote-access applications (AnyDesk, TeamViewer, RDP, VNC).
Remote Command Execution
Run PowerShell scripts and cmd commands on Windows clients, individually or in batches, over an encrypted connection — for mass installs, OS changes, or querying info without interrupting the user.
Dashboard
The main page focuses on current events on the network: endpoint activity, per-group statistics, and intervention recommendations to optimize the infrastructure.
Event Monitoring
Tracks events related to computers and network printers, such as errors, hardware changes, warnings, and status changes.
Intervention Log
Users can create an entry for each intervention they perform, documenting the actions taken, adding comments, and sharing notes with other users.
Documentation
Store documents and write blog-like posts about professional experience directly in the system.
