Pandora FMS server has an option (enabled by default) for self monitoring, which creates a virtual agent (adopting the hostname as its name) set with modules covering most of the critical parameters of a Pandora FMS server**. If you want to disable this feature, you have to set the self_monitoring parameter (usually at /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf) to 0.
From Pandora 5.1SP1 there is another option to modify the update interval of this virtual agent. The parameter corresponds to self_monitoring_interval, and its default value is 300 seconds.
** Self_monitoring only works on Master servers.
