    Hi,

    I want to write a new module supporting to do some sort of healthcheck on the system and generate a healthcheck report (html or xml) with lengths over 255 characters so that the agent can collect the healthcheck report and
    send back to server for administrator to analysis.
    Any suggestion or guidelines to do it ?

    Hi Bill,

    Just write small modules that perform the tests that make up your “healthcheck” (system load, number of running processes… everything you need) and use Pandora’s web console to generate the reports. Why would you want a module to perform all the tests and generate reports?

    Hi Bill,

    Pandora FMS approach is to define modular checks of each item, so make a single module that “checks everything” has no sense for us, but probably this a misunderstanding here, because if you want to create a new report is probably because you’re not using Pandora as I understand.

    Could you define an example for better understanding of the idea ?

    Thanks a lot.
