A few simple questions from someone evaluating options
Hi,
I have had a look at the Pandora demo and doco and it looks like a wonderful tool for monitoring, however I had a few questions which I wasn’t able to determine based on what I have seen.
– It seems that Pandora is very much aimed towards alerting based on agent feedback, does it have any capacity to perform agent actions though? For example if an agent signals that a webserver is no longer running, I would ideally like to be able to signal the webserver startup from within Pandora. As a simplistic view, I would like my monitoring solution to also provide stop/start/status capabilities (even better if it could provide visibility to application logs). Appropriate agents to perform these actions would of course need to be written separately.
– Does it provide the ability to graph dependencies, whether that is between hardware, applications or both. If so, can the alerting and any other actions make use of the dependency knowledge?
– Can it be used for knowledge management, e.g. a section wiki similar to confluence, sharepoint etc?
As you may have guessed, I am most interested in a one-stop shop rather than scattering monitoring, recovery and knowledge in different areas/tool sets.
Many thanks in advance for your help,
David -

The first question is in the roadmap for 3.2 version.
The second question will be arrangedin a different way, using a topology based on event with a new component for mess with event correlation, using human-defined rules. Now could be implemented using correlation alerts, but it’s to “heavy” to implement.
The third question, I think the answer is no.
