This post is also available in : Spanish Japanese

In this update 744, we have added the module library to the console interface. We have also kept improving visual consoles, incorporating a new template with countries, as well as extending the alert correlation editor. Furthermore, our troubleshooting covers more than eighty issues, following our zero bugs 2020 policy.

NEW PANDORA FMS DEVELOPMENTS

Integrated plugin library

The module and plugin library has been added to Pandora FMS console interface, integrating it as a new menu section. From this new access, it will be possible to navigate through the different categories and even perform searches and download plugins directly. Explore all of our integrations easily and quickly.

Visual consoles: stage II

In the previous release, several changes were made to visual consoles to make their editing much more user-friendly. This update follows that working line to improve user experience and make this feature even more intuitive.

Alert correlation: stage II

As in the case of visual consoles, in this release 744, improvements in alert correlation keep on including measures to make its configuration more usable.

Among other modifications, the possibility of making position changes in the defined rules has been added, besides the possibility of deleting the last added element instead of deleting everything created.

SNMP Browser improved

Within remote monitoring, the complexity and importance of SNMP stands out the most. That is why, in this update, the SNMP browser tool has been improved so that the modules obtained – directly within a specific policy or agent – can be entered from the search performed.

Default policies

The content of the existing policies that appear along with the installation has been updated, taking into account possible new, more up-to-date monitoring needs.
