  • Two thumbs up for Pandora 2ß1 and new item on wishlist

    Posted by davidp on September 24, 2008 at 12:04

    I’ve tried ß1 of Pandora FMS 2.0 and I must say I’m impressed. If some of you read my former posts, one item on my wishlist was to probe WMI counters from linux and this version handles it! That’s great!

    So since my wish got granted, I need a new one. :} Would it be possible to extend xprobe2 usage by automatically assigning relevant tasks to different host types?

    Consider the following example: I got a linux box and 15 windows boxes on a certain subnet. xprobe2 correctly categorize each box as it is; I’d like to tell Pandora “if you encounter linux boxes, auto-configure those SNMP/icmp tests; if they are Windows boxes, put those WMI/icmp tests instead”. That feature would really bring Pandora to a new level as far as discovery is concerned.

    Regards,
    David

    Hehehe. This feature it’s already implemented 😉 (I love to say this)

    It’s called Network Profile and contains a bunch of modules that automatically are assigned to new discovered agent. You need to make a recon task for each OS type, but it’s the same you’ve described.

    Screenshot attached.

    In this example there is a no-sense, because AIX systems don’t have WMI, but ignore it and think it’s attached to Windows OS.
