Hi,
I’ve found it had to be a fairly manual process, so quickly abandoned the wizard.
One thing you can do is insert into pandora_agent.conf (can’t remember how much is preconfigured)

So – eg for CPU info……

# CPU Load using WMI
module_begin
module_name CPU Load
module_type generic_data
module_wmiquery SELECT LoadPercentage FROM Win32_Processor
module_wmicolumn LoadPercentage
module_max 100
module_min 0
module_description User CPU Usage (%)
module_min_warning 70
module_max_warning 90
module_min_critical 91
module_max_critical 100
module_unit %
module_group System
module_end

I also monitor Nvidia GPUs for certain servers. It’s possible to just call other commands…eg temperature:

module_begin
module_name GPU 0 Temperature
module_type generic_data
module_exec “C:Program FilesNVIDIA CorporationNVSMInvidia-smi.exe” –id=0 –query-gpu=temperature.gpu –format=csv,noheader
module_description Current On Board Temperature of GPU 1 in Centigrade (internal to server)
module_group NvidiaGPU
module_end

Pandora also ships with utilities for monitoring things like Drive usage.
It’s fairly straight forward to customise – eg, I took their initial code and modified it to look at the internal RAID set, then created the Pandora Module inside the config file…

# Example plugin to retrieve drive usage
module_plugin cscript.exe //B “%ProgramFiles%Pandora_Agentutildf_percent_used.vbs”

Obviously, restart the service after each edit!
Hope that helps?

Hi there,

Are you monitoring your Windows agentless by just WMI?  Also, after you modify this in your “agent.conf”, where is it visible? I meant where can you find this in the console?

Kind regards,

Good afternoon james.v,

After you modify your pandora_agent.conf with the new modules, if you haave configured correctly the agent, this new modules should appear in the agent detail.

Hi  there,

Another question I have. So I modified the agent for my pandora fms server. After I modify it I restart the server yet nothing has appeared and the module I added in the agent disappear.

Does it happen to you as well when you added the module?

Please I need some help.

Beforehand thank you,

Good morning james.v,

When you modify an agent, you need to restart the agent and the server, not only the server.

try to restart both and let me know what happens.

Good morning Alberto,

I’ve modify the agent (pandora_agent.conf) and restarted both agent and server yet nothing has happened.

I’m doing this on Debian 8 btw.

Can you show me an example if it’s possible for I am a newbie in to this matter. If you can send me an email or PM that would be great. 

Beforehand thank you,

Good morning james.v,

Where did you create the module? Was it in Pandora FMS or in pandora_agent.conf?
I understand your problem is that the module doesn’t save, not that doesn’t start.

The example to create module in the Wiki page:

Good afternoon Alberto,

I have created the module in pandora_agent.conf

It doesn’t save and doesn’t start.

I’ve read the linked before and followed the instruction.

Goog morning james.v,

You can have two possible problems here.

1- You can not connect your server via tentacle. Please try to send manually a file by tentacle and see if it arrives in the server. Does your server even create the new software agent?

2- You have not activated the WMI in the machine you are trying to monitor. This modules are only for Windows machines and must be enabled in the machine to be used.
