Need help for version 3

Posted by rushabhomny on September 18, 2009 at 17:48

Hi,
I am using Pandora version 2.1 for Monitoring 40 devices.

Recently I have installed version 3 for trial at CentOS. I found some new features like agent hierarchy, module relevancy, history data etc. But it seems there are many difference at creating modules and alerts.

I need help for each field for creating agent, module and alert. Or at least change in the version 3 from version 2.1.

Moreover, These 40 agents have more than 130 modules and 70 alerts. Is there any way to migrate easily from version 2.1 to 3?

Thank you.

Not yet. A script to migrate db schema is in /extras directory of the console, but at this time is no way to “convert” the old alerts with the new model based on templates.

Hi

I need help for following fields of different forms.

Agent creation form
1. Custom ID : What is the intended purpose of this field ? How can I get proper benefit of this field ?

Module creation form
1. How the Warning and Critical Status are useful, How they are related with alerts ?
2. FF threshold :
What is the use of this field ?
When I click on the help icon I get following error
“Pandora FMS help system has been called with a help reference that currently don’t exist. There is no help content to show.”

3. Historical data :
Please explain in detail which data-history will be maintained if this checkbox is selected. And how it differs from Pandora version 2.1 ?

Alert creation form
1. It seems that alert creation totally redesigned. Steps to create alerts will help a lot.
