Cheops is an Open Source Network User Interface. It is designed to be the network equivalent of a swiss army knife, unifying a single interface to all your network utilities. Cheops does for the network what a file manager does for your file system
Cheops hopes to provide the system administrator and the user a powerful tool for locating, accessing, diagnosing, and managing network resources, all with the click of a button. Cheops is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL), therefore it is there for anyone to modify and improve.
Cheops has the following built-in features:
* 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 and select an appropriate icon for it.
* Find hosts: You can quickly find a single host among all known hosts in a large cooperate 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 hierarchy clearer, but can show unusual routing issues, like this unusual router triangle.
* Services: Right clicking on a host quickly shows you a list of common services it supports, and also allows you to rapidly and easily 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 can be arranged by domain, host name, IP address, etc. and searching is supported in both iconic and list formats.
* Generalized Port scanner: Cheops includes a generalized TCP port scanner which enables you to see what ports on your particular host 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.
