WHAT’S NEW Pandora FMS 742
This post is also available in : Spanish Japanese
In release 742, we have updated some components integrated into the solution, such as cURL 7.65.3 version, in addition to several bugs being solved to help improve software performance, such as an error in SLA-Wizard reports or on private dashboards.
We also have updates, such as new integrations in the Pandora FMS plug-in library: RabbitMQ and Grafana.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN PANDORA FMS
New reports in landscape mode
Given the needs of Pandora FMS customers, the way in which reports are shown in landscape mode has been enhanced. Thus, SLA reports and graphs will be adjusted to the available space, improving their display.
Improvements in report display
In this update 742, new fonts have been added and their rendering has been improved. The aim of the Pandora FMS team is for users to have some of the best monitoring reports on the market, the most professional and visual ones.
New plugin: RabbitMQ (Enterprise)
RabbitMQ is an open source message negotiation software that works as a messaging queue manager. It implements the standard Advanced Message Queuing Protocol, and it is within middleware messaging category.
The plugin, developed by Pandora FMS, will allow data to be obtained from monitoring RabbitMQ environments. It will not be necessary to install any additional software, since the information is obtained using the messaging software API.
More information in our library of integrations.
Grafana integration with Pandora FMS
Grafana Datasource Extension is the latest addition to the Pandora FMS plugin library. This integration will allow to represent the data obtained through Pandora FMS monitoring modules in Grafana dashboards.
We will talk about this plugin in further detail in an article on our blog, so stay tuned!

cURL version update
In release 742, Pandora FMS will be updated to cURL version 7.65.3, so that it supports the HTTPS protocol.
