==== Special Requirements for the Enterprise Version ====
+
== Installation via Cloud provider ==
  
−
The Enterprise installation of the web console has no additional dependencies. The installation of the Enterprise server is done by means of an installer in binary format that contains all the necessary dependencies.
+
The term "Cloud provider" (or simply "Cloud") is used to describe the hosting of virtual machines, either exclusively or shared, in specialised providers with hardware, hypervisors and customer support web systems for configuration and administration.
  
−
== Installation using ISO or "Software appliance"  ==
+
For any of them you can install Pandora FMS Community edition. CentOS 7.x is recommended as operating system, 4 gigabytes in RAM memory and 20 gigabytes in free disk space, preferably Solid State Drive (SSD).
  
−
This DVD ISO contains a modified CentOS7 system, with Pandora FMS software, all its dependencies, pre-configured and ready to install along with the operating system in a machine (virtual or real). Due to the length of this section, we have established a special screen shot-equipped section. It's called [[Pandora:QuickGuides_EN:General_Quick_Guide#Installing_the_Appliance_CD|'''Appliance CD Installation.''']]
+
Access the command line as provided by your Cloud provider and execute:
  
−
== Installation under Docker ==
+
<nowiki>curl -Ls https://pfms.me/deploy-pandora | sh</nowiki>
  
−
=== Get the latest stable version ===
+
== Installation using ISO or "Software appliance"  ==
−
To get the latest stable version:
 
  
−
    curl -sSL http://pandorafms.org/getpandora  | sh
 
  
 +
Download the CD image from the [https://pandorafms.com/community/get-started/ download section] of our website and burn the ISO image onto a DVD, or run the system from that file if you are using a virtualized system (XenServer, VMware®, VirtualBox®, etc). There are CD images for both 32- and 64-bit installations.
  
−
{{Warning|This command requires Docker Engine installed and running.}}
+
<br><hr>The following screen will be displayed at the beginning of the boot process. If you do not press any key, the process will automatically load the Live CD, or you can press any key, select the '''Install Pandora FMS'''' option and press "enter" to start the installation.

<br><hr>The graphic installer will lead you step by step throughout the whole installation process. This installer is a standard installation process used by CentOS, and it is available in different languages.
−
    docker run -d --name pandorafms pandorafms/pandorafms:7
 
  
−
{{Tip|Docker images are updated on a daily basis}}
+
[[image:Install_2.png|center|520px]]
  
−
{{Tip|The latest stable version is 7.}}
+
<br><hr>It is a very easy process but special attention must be paid when:
  
−
== Installing the VMWare Virtual Machine ==
+
* Entering the superuser password (root).
 +
* When asked about the hard drive partitioning:
  
−
Alongside the Centos ISO, you can find a virtual machine which contains an already installed Pandora FMS under 'sourceforge.net'. This image is tested with VMWare ESX, VMWare Workstation, VirtualBox and Hyper-V. To run it under Hyper-V, you're required to export the VMDX and VDH files from the 'MVDC.exe' executable. They are available after you've installed the Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter.
+
[[Image:Install_3.png|center|520px]]
  
−
To install it, you have to execute the '.ovf' file under 'Virtualbox' and 'VMWare Workstation'. Under ESX and Hyper-V, you're required to import the image under 'Import VM' and select the virtual image there.
+
Select and configure all the necessary options to install, '''Date & Time''', '''Keyboard''' and '''Installation Destination'''.
  
−
The credentials for this machine are the following:
+
<br><hr>Remember to activate the network interface, or else it will need to activated manually after installation.
  
−
''User:'' ''' root'''
+
[[Image:Install_4.png|center|520px]]
  
−
''Password:'' ''' pandora'''
+
Activate the network interface and optionally change the hostname
  
−
''Console User:'' ''' admin'''
+
[[Image:Install_5.png|center|520px]]
  
−
''Password:'' ''' pandora'''
+
<br><hr>When clicking the installation destination button, the partition process will start.
  
−
''MySQL user:''''' root'''
+
[[Image:Install_6.png|center|520px]]
  
−
''Password:'' ''' pandora'''
+
<br><hr>Select the disk where the installation will be performed and click on '''Done'''.
  
−
{{Warning|For security reasons, please change the passwords used during the installation as soon as possible.}}
+
[[image:install_7.png|500px]]
  
−
== Installation under SUSE (OpenSUSE or SLES) ==
+
<br><hr>Select the partitioning, unless you have advanced knowledge use the option ''''Click here to create them automatically''''. Click '''Done'''.
  
−
=== Automatized Installation by the Official Repository ===
+
[[Image:Install_8.png|center|520px]]
  
−
To be able to choose this method -the fastest and most convenient-, you have to have access to internet from the server where you are going to install Pandora FMS. All steps must be executed as root (or under sudo).
+
<br><hr>Verify the created partitions and click on '''Done'''.
  
−
'''Step 1:''' Create a repository :
+
[[image:install_9.png|500px]]
  
−
#'''SLES 12 SP3'''
+
Accept Changes.
−
zypper ar -f http://firefly.artica.es/suse PandoraFMS_Official_Repo
+
<br><hr>Click on '''Begin installation'''.
−
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/applications/SLE_12_SP3/
 
−
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/SLE_12_SP3/ Perl

+
[[Image:Install_10.png|center|520px]]
−
rpm -i mysql80-community-release-sles12-1.noarch.rpm
 
  
−

−
rpm -ivh mysql80-community-release-sl15-1.noarch.rpm
 
  
 +
[[Image:Install_11.png|center|520px]]
  
−
'''Step 2:''' Update the repository's information:
+
Now just wait until the process is finished and the system restarts automatically.
  
−
zypper refresh
+
After removing the ISO image of the machine's startup so that the installer does not appear again, the recently installed CentOS system will be started and you will be able to use Pandora FMS with all the necessary dependencies for its correct operation.
  
−
'''Step 3:''' Install Pandora FMS and some of its dependencies :
+
== Installing the ISO image using a USB Stick ==
  
−
zypper install pandorafms_console pandorafms_server apache2-mod_php5
 
  
−
{{Warning|For versions of Pandora FMS 729 or higher, it will be necessary to update to PHP7 so the console works}}
+
To install the Pandora FMS appliance from a USB flash drive, follow these steps:
  
−
=== Manual RPM Installation ===
+
* Download the Pandora FMS ISO image from the download section.
 +
* Download the program '''rufus''' to prepare your USB for the installation (https://rufus.akeo.ie/)
 +
* Insert the flash drive.
 +
* Start the program '''rufus'''.

For this documentation we will make use of the Suse '''Zypper''' system that allows you to resolve dependencies and download packages directly from the repositories on the internet. If you don't have Zypper, install it, it's much more comfortable and fast. If this is not possible, dependencies can be downloaded in. rpm format from the internet, but the process is considerably longer and more laborious.
+
* Select the Pandora FMS ISO image.
  
−
The following package dependencies, included in the SUSE system, must be installed:
+

{{Tip|In Centos7 wmic is not an explicit requirement for pandorafms_server but is still needed by the WMIServer. You can find the binary file at [https://sourceforge.net/projects/pandora/files/Tools%20and%20dependencies%20%28All%20versions%29/wmic_centOS7_x64.zip/download the SourceForge web site].}}
+
==== Repository configuration on CentOS 8 ====
  
 +
To configure it it will be necessary to execute the following commands:
  
−
If you intend to use the Recon Server, install these additional packages:
+
dnf install -y \
 +
    epel-release \
 +
    tar \
 +
    dnf-utils \
 +
    http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm
  
−
  perl-net-traceroute perl-net-traceroute-pureperl xprobe2
+
  dnf module reset php
 +
dnf module install -y php:remi-7.3
 +
yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
  
−
These RPM files can be found on the official distribution site of Pandora FMS Software in a specific dependencies directory for OpenSUSE.
+
(''Note'': In CentOS 8.3 it changes from PowerTools to powertools.)
  
−
{{Tip|Please make sure to download the appropriate packages for OpenSUSE.}}
+
==== Repository configuration in CentOS 7 ====
  
−
Please put them in a directory to install them, e.g.: '/tmp/extra' and execute the following command:
+
Configure <b>yum</b> and the necessary repositories. Execute the following commands:
  
−
  rpm -i *.rpm
+
  yum install -y \
 +
    tar \
 +
    yum-utils \
 +
    https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm \
 +
    http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
  
−
==== Server Installation ====
+
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php73
  
−
Just execute:
 
  
−
rpm -i pandorafms_server-5.1SP2-1.noarch.rpm
+
=== Database installation ===
  
−
==== Console Installation ====
+
==== Database installation on CentOS 8 ====
  
−
Please execute the RPM installation tool for packages in order to install the package which contains the Pandora FMS Console:
 
  
−
  rpm -i pandorafms_console-5.1SP2-1.noarch.rpm
+
It will also be necessary to install a database <b>percona</b> using the following commands:  
  
−
=== Uninstalling Pandora FMS ===
 
  
−
You're able to uninstall any of Pandora FMS components by using the following commands:
+
dnf install -y https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm
 +
dnf module disable -y mysql
 +
rm -rf /etc/my.cnf
 +
dnf install -y Percona-Server-server-57
  
−
rpm -e pandorafms_agent
+
==== Database installation on CentOS 7 ====
−
rpm -e pandorafms_console
 
−
rpm -e pandorafms_server
 
  
−
The Pandora FMS database won't get uninstalled if any of the Pandora FMS packages are - but all files from any other package (including the configuration files) will be deleted, but the database  will have to be deleted manually.
 
  
−
== Installation in Red Hat Enterprise Linux / Fedora / CentOS ==
+
It will also be necessary to install a database <b>percona</b> using the following commands: 
  
−
The installation process is nearly the same as the one from SUSE. Please keep in mind that RHEL, CentOS or Fedora RPM packages aren't the same as the ones in SUSE - there are also some incompatibilities.
+
yum install -y https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm
 +
rm -rf /etc/my.cnf
 +
yum install -y Percona-Server-server-57
  
−
First of all, you will need to activate certain official Redhat/Centos/Fedora repositories to perform dependency installation. The repositories to be activated are EXTRAS, UPDATES and the additional installation of the EPEL repository.
 
  
−
Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo and enable EXTRAS, and UPDATES repos. Usually should be something like this:
+
=== Dependency installation ===
  
 +
==== Dependency installation on CentOS 8 ====
  
−
[updates]
+
'''Console dependencies'''
−
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates

+
{{Tip|Although you see in the <code>xprobe</code> installation link that the package is within CentOS 7 repository, it works properly in both versions.}}
  
−
Download all the necessary packages and leave the system ready for configuration and use.
+
if necessary, add all [[Pandora:Documentation_en:Discovery |Discovery]] dependencies for each section.
  
−
{{Tip|Mariadb-server replaces the mysql-server package, but it depends on the distro you're using (it is not the same CentOS as RHEL, you will have to use one or the other, being the differences of use minimum when using Pandora).}}

At this point you can continue with the configuration of the operating system and database by following [[Pandora:Documentation_en:Installing#OS_settings_and_database_creation |this link]]<br><br><br>

=== Manual Installation by RPM Files ===
+
==== Dependency installation on CentOS 7 ====
  
−
Most dependencies should be resolved using YUM or another automatic tool. All dependencies are marked as required packages in the RPM definition. If you have already configured the required repositories in the previous step, this operation will be almost automatic.
+
'''Console dependencies'''
  
−
In the case of CentOS it will be necessary to install the following dependencies:
+
Once with repositories and <b>percona</b> installed we can start to install all the necessary dependencies for the <b>console</b>:  
  
−
yum install php php-gd graphviz php-mysql php-pear-DB php-zip php-mbstring php-ldap \
 
−
php-snmp php-ldap php-common make perl-CPAN perl-HTML-Tree perl-DBI perl-DBD-mysql \
 
−
perl-libwww-perl perl-XML-Simple perl-XML-Twig perl-XML-SAX perl-NetAddr-IP \
 
−
net-snmp perl-SNMP net-tools perl-IO-Socket-INET6 perl-Socket6 nmap sudo xprobe2 \
 
−
perl-Encode-Locale
 
  
−
It is possible that if you use Fedora or Redhat the names of some packages are slightly different, so we will use these added to the previous ones:

−
In the meantime, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 it will be sufficient to install these others, as several of the packages required for the console and server are included in the php and perl and serial dependencies:
+
'''Server dependencies'''
  
−
yum install php php-common graphviz

Installing Pandora FMS '''version 10.04 or above''' is recommended. In the Debian Stable version (Squeeze) there are problems with some libraries and applications that Pandora FMS needs for some components. The Debian LWP library does not implement certain methods for SSL, and this is necessary for the Enteprise modules of WEB monitoring. You can fix this by installing a newer version of LWP using CPAN (manual method).
+
systemctl enable mysqld --now
 +
systemctl enable httpd --now
  
−
When installing you need to add the official repositories of each version. For example, to install the libencode-locale-perl and snmp-mibs-downloader packages in a Debian Squeeze, you will need to add the following repositories to the file named /etc/apt/sources.list
+
If you use CentOS 8, execute:
 +
systemctl enable php-fpm --now
  
 +
=== Pandora FMS console and server installation ===
  
−
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free
+
With all the environment ready, it's time to install <b>Pandora FMS</b>. The first thing will be to create a directory to store all the data.   
−
  deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian-cd/ squeeze-backports main
 
  
−
Alternatively, for Debian Wheezy:
+
mkdir $HOME/pandora && cd $HOME/pandora
  
−
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian9.6/ wheezy-backports main
+
{{Warning|It will be necessary to download the packages of the <b>console</b>, <b>enterprise console</b> and <b>enterprise server</b> from Sourceforge or the links provided by the support team.}}
−
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free
 
  
−
Once they have been added you need to execute 'apt-get update' to apply the changes.
+
In the OpenSource version:
  
−
Due to the way in which Debian/Ubuntu manages the packages, it is more than recommended to install Pandora FMS in a system that has access to the online package repositories (or a replica in the local network). A dependency on Debian can involve dozens of sub-dependencies, so preparing an accurate list of packages needed for offline installation can be a very complex task.
+
wget <nowiki>https://firefly.pandorafms.com/pandorafms/latest/RHEL_CentOS/pandorafms_agent_unix-7.0NG.noarch.rpm</nowiki>

−
=== Installation with Artica Private Repository ===
+
With the packages already prepared, start the installation. In the case of the Enterprise console, you must have two more, the Enterprise console package and the Enterprise server package (which is a tarball file installed separate from RPM packages).
  
−
There's also a much faster and easier method: just add the Artica Private Repository. It contains any and all the Ubuntu and Debian packages you might require.
+
Package installation (after download):
  
−
In order to do so, please edit the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and add the following line:
+
yum install -y $HOME/pandora/pandorafms*.rpm
  
−
For Debian Squeeze:
+
For '''Enterprise''' tarball, execute:
  
−
  deb http://firefly.artica.es/debian/squeeze /
+
  tar xvfz $HOME/pandora/pandorafms_server* && cd pandora_server && ./pandora_server_installer --install --ha; cd -
  
−
For Debian Wheezy:
+
Once the process is finished, populate the database:  
  
−
  deb http://firefly.artica.es/debian/wheezy /
+
  mysql -u$DBUSER -p$DBPASS -P$DBPORT -h$DBHOST $DBNAME < $PANDORA_CONSOLE/pandoradb.sql
 +
mysql -u$DBUSER -p$DBPASS -P$DBPORT -h$DBHOST $DBNAME < $PANDORA_CONSOLE/pandoradb_data.sql

Then you may go to the CentOS server IP and enter Pandora FMS console and check the service is running properly:
  
−
                   
+
[[Image:Pandora_login.png|center|800px]]
−
The installation with the DEB packages is very easy.  
 
  
−
FIf we do not have internet connection, we install the dependencies. Then we install the Pandora FMS packages, in this example all Pandora FMS components are installed together.
+
With these steps we will have a basic installation of Pandora FMS. If necessary, all [[Pandora:Documentation_en:Discovery |Discovery]] dependencies should be added for each section.  
  
−
dpkg -i pandorafms-console_xxx.deb pandorafms-server_xxxx.deb
+
It is recommended to [[Pandora:Documentation_en:Installing#Pandora_FMS_Agent_Installation |install the agent]] to automonitor the server.
  
−
Once the command has been executed, you might see that some dependencies are missing. If so, you can try to solve it automatically by using the following command:
+
<br><br><br>
  
−
apt-get -f install
+
=== License application ===
 +
Pandora FMS <b>Enterprise</b> version is associated with an individual key for each installation. In order to use the Enterprise features and perform automatic updates of the console, it is necessary to enter the license number provided by Artica. From Pandora FMS version 748 on, the server is installed with a trial license valid for a maximum of 100 agents and one month of use.
  
−
This will attempt to download all the necessary missing packages from the automated installation of Pandora FMS on the system. Once the necessary packages have been installed, you're required to continue with the installation of all Pandora FMS components.
+
If you want to expand this license, please contact your trusted commercial or fill in the following [https://pandorafms.com/contact/ contact form]
  
−
{{Warning|In some Ubuntu versions you will have to move the directory /var/www/pandora_console/ to the public directory of the web server by default /var/www/html/pandora_console }}
+
The <b>Community</b> version does not require any license for its use.
  
−
In order to complete the installation of the Pandora FMS Console, you have to access the console URL and follow the steps suggested by the installation wizard. If the console is installed on a server with the IP '10.20.34.54', you're required to enter the following URL:
+
== Installation by packages on RHEL 7/8 ==
  
−

This installer is mainly prepared for an installation on a computer which doesn't have an already installed Nginx or MySQL. In case you have any other web server, such as IIS: it can be enabled, although you're required to disable it in order to work through Nginx.
 
−
 
 
−
If you have a MySQL Server installed and running on the computer before installing the remaining components of Pandora FMS, you will have to modify the MySQL root password, for "pandora". This change is necessary in order for the database to be created which has to be able to assign permissions to the Pandora FMS Database correctly. Once you've installed Pandora FMS on your computer, please feel free to replace the password.

=== Operation WMI modules in some Windows versions ===
 
−
 
 
−

==Tuning the settings in CentOS7==
 
−
 
 
−
CentOS 7 is a good Linux distribution but it has its small details that we will try here briefly, which will make it easier to install Pandora FMS:
 
−
 
 
−
CentOS 7 doesn't install ifconfig, to install it :
 
−
 
 
−
  yum install net-tools
 
−
 
 
−
CentOS has a very aggressive firewall, and we need to disable it (later you can secure the server if needed):
 
−
 
 
−
  systemctl disable firewalld
 
−
  systemctl stop firewalld
 
−
 
 
−
CentOS 7 also has SELinux enabled by default, to disable it:
 
−
 
 
−
  setenforce 0
 
−
  sed -i 's/enforcing/disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config /etc/selinux/config
 
−
 
 
−
We program both the WEB server and the database server for booting:
 
−
 
 
−
  systemctl start httpd.service
 
−
  systemctl enable httpd.service
 
−
  systemctl enable mariadb.service
 
−
 
 
−
We remove the private tmp fromt the systemd  in Apache:
 
−
 
 
−
sed -i 's/PrivateTmp=true/PrivateTmp=false/g' /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.service
 
−
 
 
−
== Initial Console Configuration ==
 
−
 
 
−
We're assuming all components  (Database, Console, Server and Agent) will be executed on the same machine. If you haven't done it already, start the MySQL server and create an Admin password (root).
 
−
 
 
−
/etc/init.d/mysql start
 
−
 
 
−
Or, depending on the Linux version:
 
−
 
 
−
service mariadb start
 
−
 
 
−
Now create the password, for example "pandora123" for your MySQL root user:
 
−
 
 
−
mysqladmin password pandora123
 
−
 
 
−
Then start the Apache Server on your server:
 
−
 
 
−
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
 
−
 
 
−
Or:
 
−
 
 
−
service httpd start
 
−
 
 
−
Now it should be possible to access through the browser to the IP address of our Pandora FMS server and complete the database creation process.
 
−
 
 
−
If your server's IP is, for exmaple,  '192.168.5.54', please put the following line into the address bar of your browser:
 
−
 
 
−
http://192.168.5.54/pandora_console/install.php
 
−
 
 
−
From now on, you're just required to follow the following steps in order to create the Pandora FMS DB.
 
−
 
 
−
<center>
 
−
[[Image:Pandora_install_1.png]]

−
 
 
−
At this point, it configures the access data to your MySQL server. You're required to enter the root password which you've created in the previous step (which was 'pandora 1234' in the example).
 
−
 
 
−
<b>Note:</b> Please avoid blank spaces in the database name.

=== License Application ===
 
−
 
 
−
The Pandora FMS Enterprise version bears a different license key associated to each installation. To use the Enterprise Features and the console's remote updates, enter the license code in the console configuration section.
 
−
 
 
−
After installing the Enterprise version's Pandora FMS Console by any installation method, you're required to access the Pandora Console (http://IP/pandora_console/). Subsequently, the following welcome screen to accept the license appears:
 
−
 
 
−
<center>
 
−
[[Image:license_accept.png]]
 
−
</center>
 
−
 
 
−
After accepting the license, the Pandora FMS Database schema is going to change, adding required new tables for the use of the Enterprise Version. In this moment, a new screen to register the license key, which Artica has sent to you, will appear:

{{tip|It is very important that the pandora_server daemon is not started with the Enterprise version of the same one installed, without having enabled the Enterprise version of the console first, as errors will occur.}}
 
−
 
 
−
== Server Initialization and Basic Configuration ==
 
−
 
 
−
Pandora FMS has configured your database and created a MySQL user for gaining access to it. It has created a random password for the 'pandora' user that should be the one which was used to modify the defined password in the Pandora FMS Server.
 
−
 
 
−
For this last step, you're required to edit the file named '/etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf' from your Pandora installation and look for the following line:
 
−
 
 
−
dbpass pandora
 
−
 
 
−
Then replace 'pandora' for the password which was created by the wizard. Once this is done and the file is saved, you're able to start the Pandora FMS server by entering the following command:
 
−
 
 
−
/etc/init.d/pandora_server start
 
−
 
 
−
The server should return start values like the ones below.

1.6 Package Dependencies

Pandora FMS has a strong dependency on the Linux® Operating System, but it also needs additional packages which, in many cases, are not installed by default. During the installation process, there is a detailed list of package dependencies for CentOS.

1.7 Issues prior to Installation

1.7.1 MySQL

Template warning.png

During the installation process of Pandora FMS in Centos 7 and 8 systems by packages it is already explained how to install and configure the database compatible with the server, so it is not necessary any previous installation before following the guide and you can skip this point

 


You will need to have MySQL Server installed before configuring Pandora FMS, since the next step after installing Pandora FMS packages, is to configure access to the databases. To do that, it must be operational. If you are installing the MySQL Server at the same time as Pandora FMS, remember that you need to set up the root user for MySQL. This can be easily done in two steps:

1. Start MySQL Server daemon: 

/etc/init.d/mysql start

2. Configure the root password for MySQL root user: 

mysqladmin password <password>

In <password>, type in the password for MySQL root user (which is different from the system's root user). The system will ask for this password throughout the entire Pandora FMS installation process.

1.7.2 Pandora FMS Installation Order

You are required to follow this sequence in order to install Pandora FMS properly:

  1. Install console
  2. Install server

The reason for this is that MySQL database is configured during the initial configuration phase of the console installation. To ensure the correct working of the server, it is recommended to conduct the whole console installation process first.

It is also possible to host Pandora FMS Server and console in different machines. It is possible to indicate both where MySQL database is through the corresponding configuration file, although in Enterprise environments when carrying out a distributed installation you should take into account more factors for installation.

Regarding the agent: You may install it before or after installing the server and console, because the agent works independently and it may be installed on any machine.

1.7.3 Installing the Enterprise Version

The correct order for an Enterprise installation is as follows:

  • Install the open-source console.
  • Install the Enterprise Console.
  • Install the Enterprise Server.
  • When accessing the console, a box will appear requiring you to enter your Enterprise license code.

Validation of the license is only done in the console. Not in the server.

Details on how to correctly enter the license can be found in the following section: License Application v5.X window opens.


1.8 Installation via Cloud provider

The term "Cloud provider" (or simply "Cloud") is used to describe the hosting of virtual machines, either exclusively or shared, in specialised providers with hardware, hypervisors and customer support web systems for configuration and administration.

For any of them you can install Pandora FMS Community edition. CentOS 7.x is recommended as operating system, 4 gigabytes in RAM memory and 20 gigabytes in free disk space, preferably Solid State Drive (SSD).

Access the command line as provided by your Cloud provider and execute: 

curl -Ls https://pfms.me/deploy-pandora | sh

1.9 Installation using ISO or "Software appliance"

Download the CD image from the download section of our website and burn the ISO image onto a DVD, or run the system from that file if you are using a virtualized system (XenServer, VMware®, VirtualBox®, etc). There are CD images for both 32- and 64-bit installations.


The following screen will be displayed at the beginning of the boot process. If you do not press any key, the process will automatically load the Live CD, or you can press any key, select the Install Pandora FMS' option and press "enter" to start the installation.
Install 1.png

The graphic installer will lead you step by step throughout the whole installation process. This installer is a standard installation process used by CentOS, and it is available in different languages.
Install 2.png

It is a very easy process but special attention must be paid when:
  • Entering the superuser password (root).
  • When asked about the hard drive partitioning:
Install 3.png

Select and configure all the necessary options to install, Date & Time, Keyboard and Installation Destination.


Remember to activate the network interface, or else it will need to activated manually after installation.
Install 4.png

Activate the network interface and optionally change the hostname

Install 5.png

When clicking the installation destination button, the partition process will start.
Install 6.png

After this, the following additional dependencies from different components must be installed from Pandora FMS public repository: 

dnf install -y http://firefly.artica.es/centos8/wmi-1.3.14-4.el7.art.x86_64.rpm
dnf install -y http://firefly.artica.es/centos8/perl-Net-Telnet-3.04-1.el8.noarch.rpm
dnf install -y http://firefly.artica.es/centos7/xprobe2-0.3-12.2.x86_64.rpm

Info.png

Although you see in the xprobe installation link that the package is within CentOS 7 repository, it works properly in both versions.

 


if necessary, add all Discovery dependencies for each section.

At this point you can continue with the configuration of the operating system and database by following this link

yum install -y https://firefly.pandorafms.com/centos7/xprobe2-0.3-12.2.x86_64.rpm

1.11.4 OS settings and database creation

To configure Pandora FMS by packages in CentOS, it will be necessary to define first the following variables for any of the two systems and that we will use in the following steps: 

PANDORA_CONSOLE=/var/www/html/pandora_console
CONSOLE_PATH=/var/www/html/pandora_console
PANDORA_SERVER_CONF=/etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf
PANDORA_SERVER_BIN=/usr/bin/pandora_server
PANDORA_HA_BIN=/usr/bin/pandora_ha
PANDORA_TABLES_MIN=160
DBHOST=127.0.0.1
DBNAME=pandora
DBUSER=pandora
DBPASS=pandora
DBPORT=3306

Template warning.png

After this point the installation for CentOS 7 and CentOS 8 is common for both systems, if there is any step that is not common the operating system for which it is valid will be indicated in bold

 



After previous steps, disable SELINUX and the firewall. 

setenforce 0
sed -i -e "s/^SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=disabled/g" /etc/selinux/config
systemctl disable firewalld --now

Info.png

If you decide to use Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) with Pandora FMS, follow these instructions.

 


Then you may start configuring the database: 

systemctl start mysqld
mysql -uroot -p$(grep "temporary password" /var/log/mysqld.log | rev | cut -d' ' -f1 | rev)

SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('Pandor4!');
UNINSTALL PLUGIN validate_password;
SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('pandora');
quit

echo "create database $DBNAME" | mysql -uroot -ppandora -P$DBPORT -h$DBHOST
echo "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON $DBNAME.* TO \"$DBUSER\"@'%' identified by \"$DBPASS\"" | mysql -uroot -ppandora -P$DBPORT -h$DBHOST

Also generate the file my.cnf. 

POOL_SIZE=$(grep -i total /proc/meminfo | head -1 | awk '{print $(NF-1)*0.4/1024}' | sed s/\\..*$/M/g)
cat > /etc/my.cnf << EO_CONFIG_F
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
character-set-server=utf8
skip-character-set-client-handshake
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks
symbolic-links=0
# Mysql optimizations for Pandora FMS
# Please check the documentation in http://pandorafms.com for better results
max_allowed_packet = 64M
innodb_buffer_pool_size = $POOL_SIZE
innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 90
innodb_file_per_table
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 0
innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT
innodb_log_file_size = 64M
innodb_log_buffer_size = 16M
innodb_io_capacity = 100
thread_cache_size = 8
thread_stack    = 256K
max_connections = 100
key_buffer_size=4M
read_buffer_size=128K
read_rnd_buffer_size=128K
sort_buffer_size=128K
join_buffer_size=4M
query_cache_type = 1
query_cache_size = 64M
query_cache_min_res_unit = 2k
query_cache_limit = 256K
sql_mode=""
[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
EO_CONFIG_F


Once the changes have been saved, it will be necessary to restart the mysqld service. 

systemctl restart mysqld

Enable the services mysql, apache and php. 

systemctl enable mysqld --now
systemctl enable httpd --now

If you use CentOS 8, execute: 

systemctl enable php-fpm --now

1.11.5 Pandora FMS console and server installation

With all the environment ready, it's time to install Pandora FMS. The first thing will be to create a directory to store all the data. 

mkdir $HOME/pandora && cd $HOME/pandora

Template warning.png

It will be necessary to download the packages of the console, enterprise console and enterprise server from Sourceforge or the links provided by the support team.

 


In the OpenSource version: 

wget https://firefly.pandorafms.com/pandorafms/latest/RHEL_CentOS/pandorafms_agent_unix-7.0NG.noarch.rpm 
wget https://firefly.pandorafms.com/pandorafms/latest/RHEL_CentOS/pandorafms_console-7.0NG.noarch.rpm 
wget https://firefly.pandorafms.com/pandorafms/latest/RHEL_CentOS/pandorafms_server-7.0NG.noarch.rpm

With the packages already prepared, start the installation. In the case of the Enterprise console, you must have two more, the Enterprise console package and the Enterprise server package (which is a tarball file installed separate from RPM packages).

Package installation (after download): 

yum install -y $HOME/pandora/pandorafms*.rpm

For Enterprise tarball, execute: 

tar xvfz $HOME/pandora/pandorafms_server* && cd pandora_server && ./pandora_server_installer --install --ha; cd -

Once the process is finished, populate the database: 

mysql -u$DBUSER -p$DBPASS -P$DBPORT -h$DBHOST $DBNAME < $PANDORA_CONSOLE/pandoradb.sql
mysql -u$DBUSER -p$DBPASS -P$DBPORT -h$DBHOST $DBNAME < $PANDORA_CONSOLE/pandoradb_data.sql

Then configure the console. 

cat > $CONSOLE_PATH/include/config.php << EO_CONFIG_F
<?php
\$config["dbtype"] = "mysql";
\$config["dbname"]="$DBNAME";
\$config["dbuser"]="$DBUSER";
\$config["dbpass"]="$DBPASS";
\$config["dbhost"]="$DBHOST";
\$config["homedir"]="/var/www/html/pandora_console";
\$config["homeurl"]="/pandora_console";	
error_reporting(0); 
\$ownDir = dirname(__FILE__) . '/';
include (\$ownDir . "config_process.php");
EO_CONFIG_F

cat > /etc/httpd/conf.d/pandora.conf << EO_CONFIG_F
<Directory "/var/www/html">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride All
   Require all granted
</Directory>
EO_CONFIG_F

sed -i -e "s/php_flag engine off//g" $PANDORA_CONSOLE/images/.htaccess
sed -i -e "s/php_flag engine off//g" $PANDORA_CONSOLE/attachment/.htaccess 

chmod 600 $CONSOLE_PATH/include/config.php	
chown apache. $CONSOLE_PATH/include/config.php
mv $CONSOLE_PATH/install.php $CONSOLE_PATH/install.done


Then prepare the file php.ini. 

sed -i -e "s/^max_input_time.*/max_input_time = -1/g" /etc/php.ini
sed -i -e "s/^max_execution_time.*/max_execution_time = 0/g" /etc/php.ini
sed -i -e "s/^upload_max_filesize.*/upload_max_filesize = 800M/g" /etc/php.ini
sed -i -e "s/^memory_limit.*/memory_limit = 500M/g" /etc/php.ini

cat > /var/www/html/index.html << EOF_INDEX
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=/pandora_console/">
EOF_INDEX

If you use CentOS 8, execute in addition: 

systemctl restart php-fpm 
systemctl restart httpd

The server configuration file will be prepared: 

sed -i -e "s/^dbhost.*/dbhost $DBHOST/g" $PANDORA_SERVER_CONF
sed -i -e "s/^dbname.*/dbname $DBNAME/g" $PANDORA_SERVER_CONF
sed -i -e "s/^dbuser.*/dbuser $DBUSER/g" $PANDORA_SERVER_CONF
sed -i -e "s|^dbpass.*|dbpass $DBPASS|g" $PANDORA_SERVER_CONF
sed -i -e "s/^dbport.*/dbport $DBPORT/g" $PANDORA_SERVER_CONF

In the Enterprise version, enable the (HA) service. 

systemctl enable pandora_ha --now
service tentacle_serverd start


In the Community version, pandora_ha service does not exist, so execute the following commands to enable the server: 

systemctl enable pandora_server --now
systemctl start pandora_server
service tentacle_serverd start


Enable the cron of the console: 

echo "* * * * * root wget -q -O - --no-check-certificate http://127.0.0.1/pandora_console/enterprise/cron.php >> /var/www/html/pandora_console/log/cron.log" >> /etc/crontab

Then you may go to the CentOS server IP and enter Pandora FMS console and check the service is running properly:

Pandora login.png

With these steps we will have a basic installation of Pandora FMS. If necessary, all Discovery dependencies should be added for each section.

It is recommended to install the agent to automonitor the server.




1.11.6 License application

Pandora FMS Enterprise version is associated with an individual key for each installation. In order to use the Enterprise features and perform automatic updates of the console, it is necessary to enter the license number provided by Artica. From Pandora FMS version 748 on, the server is installed with a trial license valid for a maximum of 100 agents and one month of use.

If you want to expand this license, please contact your trusted commercial or fill in the following contact form

The Community version does not require any license for its use.

1.12 Installation by packages on RHEL 7/8

The installation of Pandora FMS on RHEL 7 and RHEL 8 systems is an Enterprise service. You can consult how to install on these systems by contacting your trusted commercial or by filling out the following contact form

1.13 Installation under Docker

We have an entry in the docker hub website explaining how to mount a Pandora FMS stack based on CentOS 8 step by step in the link: https://hub.docker.com/r/pandorafms/pandorafms-open-stack-el8

It is also possible to install through a yaml file, as a quick installation method. The following explains how to perform this deployment via docker-compose.

First, you need to have installed in the system docker and docker compose, installation documentation: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/

Once installed, we will use the yaml file from the official PandoraFMS repository: 

mkdir $HOME/pandorafms; cd $HOME/pandorafms
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pandorafms/pandorafms/develop/extras/docker/centos8/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose -f $HOME/pandorafms/docker-compose.yml up

We wait a few seconds for the download and configuration of the environment. You can access to the PFMS console from the URL: 

http://127.0.0.1:8080/pandora_console

Use “admin” as user and “pandora” as password.

1.14 Uninstalling Pandora FMS

Just execute the command 

yum remove pandorafms_console pandorafms_server

If MySQL is installed but it is no longer needed, it can also be deleted with the same command: 

yum remove Percona-Server*

1.15 Custom Installation

It will be necessary to install all dependencies installed depending of the OS, and then download the files in tarball format (.tar. gz,.tgz or .tar. bz2) and unzip them. To do it, locate the latest version of Pandora FMS and download the files from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pandora/files/.


1.15.1.1 Console Installation

Once you have opened the console zip file, follow these steps:

1. Acquire root privileges by entering: 

su -

2. Copy to '/tmp' and execute: 

tar xvzf pandorafms_console-X.Y.tar.gz 
cd pandora_console
./pandora_console_install --install

1.15.1.2 Server Installation

Once you have opened the server zip file named pandorafms_server-3.0.0.tar.gz or similar, follow the steps described below:

1. Acquire root privileges. You are the only one responsible for said key: 

su -

2. Copy it to a directory where you can unzip the file (in this example /tmp y used again) and execute: 

tar xvzf pandorafms_server-X.Y.tar.gz 
cd pandora_server
./pandora_server_installer --install

If you experience any dependency-related problems, fix them before attempting any installation. It might be possible to force the installation and ignore the problems with the dependencies, but Pandora FMS will not work properly in that case.

1.15.1.3 Server Manual Installation (from source code)

Alternatively to the general installation script, you can "compile" the Pandora FMS code through the Perl interpreter of your system. This process simply installs the minimum libraries and executables, but does not alter the boot script system, maintenance scripts, configuration or anything else that strictly concerns the application and its libraries. This process is recommended when the server code must be updated, but without overwriting its configuration.

To do it properly, unzip your server code to /tmp, as described in the previous step.

1. Acquire root privileges. You are the only one responsible for that key: 

su -

2. Copy it to the directory where you are unzipping files (/tmp in this example) and once there, execute: 

tar xvzf pandorafms_server-X.Y.tar.gz 
cd pandora_server
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

If any dependency is missing or there is another problem, the system will warn you. If you see a message similar to: 

Warning: prerequisiete Mail::Sendmail 0 not found
Warning: prerequisiete Net::Traceroute::PurePerl 0 not found

It means that there are some Perl packages that Pandora FMS needs and that the system does not have them installed. Check the previous paragraphs to know how to install the necessary dependencies to be able to install Pandora FMS. However, you can temporarily ignore these warnings (that is why they are warnings and not errors) and force the installation. But you will surely have problems at one time or another since you are missing a component needed to function. However, if you know that the component that is not installed will not be used (e. g. traceroute is used exclusively for Pandora FMS Recon Server), you can continue without any problem.

After this process, these files are automatically copied: 

/usr/local/bin/pandora_server
/usr/local/bin/pandora_exec

And several .pm files (Perl libraries) that Pandora FMS needs. Those .pm libraries are copied to different directories, depending on the version of your distribution and distribution. For example in Ubuntu 9.04 they are copied to: 

/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/PandoraFMS/

In SUSE/SLES 11 they are copied to: 

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/PandoraFMS/

1.15.2 Installing the Enterprise Version

To install the Enterprise version of Pandora FMS, install the packages "Open" of the Console and Server, and then add the packages "Enterprise" of each one. In the case of the Console use one package or another, depending on the installed distribution.

1.15.2.1 Enterprise Console Installation

To install the Enterprise Console by using the source code:

Once you have opened the console and arrived at the location of the compressed file named pandorafms_console_enterprise-X.X.tar.gz or similar, follow the steps mentioned bellow:

1. Acquire root privileges by entering: 

su -

2. Copy it to a directory where you can unzip de file /tmp and then execute: 

tar xvzf pandorafms_console-X.Xtar.gz

3. Later, copy it to the directory in which your Pandora FMS open-source console is installed. 

cp -R enterprise /var/www/html/pandora_console

4. Just change the permissions in case the files are intended to get used by the web server user, e.g.: 


chown -R apache /var/www/html/pandora_console/enterprise



1.15.2.2 Enterprise Server Installation

Template warning.png

We are working on a pilot version that will include upgrades in the Enterprise server. From 738 update on, it is advised to use Pandora FMS Enterprise server version E7. Version E6 should only be used in case of compatibility issues.

 


First, make sure the Open version of the server is installed. Then proceed to install the enterprise version in order to install the Enterprise Server.

Once you have the zip file with the server, named pandorafms_server_enterprise-X.X.tar.gz or similar, follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Acquire root privileges. You are the only one responsible for that key: 

su -

2. Copy it to the directory where to unzip the files (/tmp in this example) and execute: 

tar xvzf pandorafms_server_enterprise-X.X.tar.gz 
cd pandora_server/
# ./pandora_server_installer --install

If the Pandora FMS Server Binary is not contained in the default directory /usr/bin, indicate the directory as follows: 

# PREFIX=/usr/local ./pandora_server_installer --install

After installing, restart the server 

/etc/init.d/pandora_server restart

Then, the Enterprise Servers will be shown as enabled.

Template warning.png

Do not restart the server until the Pandora FMS Enterprise license key installation is completed, otherwise the server will not start and your monitoring service will be interrupted.

1.15.3 Installing on a different path

To install the Pandora FMS Server on a different path, specify it with the --destdir option: 

./pandora_server_installer --install --destdir <path>

After the installation, configure the Pandora FMS server manually to run at startup and configure the database maintenance script, pandora_db, to run periodically. For example, on Linux (replace <destdir> with the actual path passed to --destdir): 

ln -s <destdir>/etc/init.d/pandora_server /etc/init.d/
echo "\"<destdir>/usr/share/pandora_server/util/pandora_db\" \
\"<destdir>/etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf\" >/dev/null 2>&1" > /etc/cron.hourly/pandora_db

1.15.4 Installing with a non-privileged user

To install Pandora FMS server with a non-privileged user, launch the following command with the user you want to install. 

./pandora_server_installer --install --no-root --destdir /opt/pandora

This user must have writing permissions on the path that is passed to --destdir.

Info.png

There is a special agent for Windows NT, which is basically the Unix agent compiled for Windows, although performance is much lower than that of a native Windows agent and native API access features are not present.

 


In UNIX environments, the following must also be installed:

  • Perl 5.8 or above
  • It will be necessary to install the following dependencies: 
perl-YAML-Tiny-1.73-2 
perl-Sys-Syslog 
unzip

2.2 Installing the agent in Centos8

Dependency installation: 

yum install dnf-plugins-core -y
yum config-manager --set-enabled powertools -y
yum install -y perl-YAML-Tiny perl-Sys-Syslog unzip

Agent installation: 

yum install -y http://firefly.artica.es/pandorafms/latest/RHEL_CentOS/pandorafms_agent_unix-7.0NG.noarch.rpm

2.3 Installing the agent in Centos7

Dependency installation: 

yum install dnf-plugins-core -y
yum install -y perl-YAML-Tiny perl-Sys-Syslog unzip

Agent installation: 

yum install -y http://firefly.artica.es/pandorafms/latest/RHEL_CentOS/pandorafms_agent_unix-7.0NG.noarch.rpm

2.4 Installing the agent from tarball

This agent version is ready for installation on any Unix/Linux/MAC OS system.

The agent does not require compilation nor preparation, once the agent is downloaded in. tar. gz format.

1. Acquire root privilges 

su -

2. Copy it to /tmp and execute: 

tar xvzf pandorafms_X.Y_unix.tar.gz 
cd unix
./pandora_agent_installer --install

3. Start the agent manually: 

/etc/init.d/pandora_agent_daemon start

2.5 Custom installation

The agent can be installed in a directory defined by the user in an "integral" way, this means that all the files of the agent will be put in that directory: logs, configuration files, binaries, man pages, etc.

To use that method, simply run it as the following example: 

./pandora_agent_installer --install /opt/pandora

The only file that Pandora FMS will create outside this user-defined directory is the agent launcher in /etc/init. d/pandora_agent_daemon (or equivalent in other Unix systems), and the link in the directory of the system's boot level, for example /etc/rc. d/rc2. d/S90pandora_agent_daemon.

Moreover, the installation can be configured so that instead of running the agent with root user, it can run with another user. For example, for the agent to run with the Pandora FMS user, it would be: 

./pandora_agent_installer --install /home/pandora pandora

When a custom user is specified, the agent must be installed in a custom location where the user has writing permissions (/home/pandora in the previous example).



Template warning.png

The user pandora is deactivated by default, you must enable it by entering a valid shell in /etc/passwd if you want to use it to run the agent with that user.

 


Template warning.png

For users with MAC OS X 10.11 or higher (The Captain or newer): Apple has added a new security layer on OS X. Some root privileges have disappeared. When installing the Pandora FMS Agent, it will appear as a restricted process. Only restricted processes that are signed by Apple can modify these files. However, you can disable this security system by booting into recovery mode and deactivating it on a terminal by doing: csrutil disable.

 


2.6 Agent installation in NetBSD and FreeBSD

The file location and startup script structure are different from Linux.

The particulars of FreeBSD will be discussed later on.

After installation, add the following line to /etc/rc.conf. 

pandora_agent_enable="YES"

To enable the Pandora FMS agent, these settings are needed, otherwise the process cannot be started.

In FreeBSD, most Pandora FMS agent files are installed in /usr/local.

Agent: 

/usr/local/bin/pandora_agent

Boot Script : 

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/pandora_agent

Configuration file: 

/usr/local/etc/pandora/pandora_agent.conf

Plugins: 

/usr/local/share/pandora_agent/plugins/*

Man pages: 

/usr/local/man/man1/*

Other: 

The data_in and log directories are the same as those of Linux.

2.7 Agent installation in Windows

The agent is delivered as an installer in executable format (.exe). The basic installation performs all the necessary steps and it is only necessary to accept all the options.

To install the Pandora FMS agent in Windows®, you only need to download and run it. The installer will guide you through the necessary steps in the language you select. The following example shows the installation for Windows 10®, remember that Pandora FMS works on any modern Microsoft® platform (2000 or higher). It also has 32 and 64 bit versions. If you execute Windows as standard user, you will need administrator permissions; enter them when executing the installer.




Select language:

Pandora agent 3.0 RC3 install windows 01.png

Follow the steps of the installer:

Pandora agent 3.0 RC3 install windows 021.png

Acept Terms and Conditions and click Next:

Pandora agent 3.0 RC3 install windows 031.png

Select the path where the Pandora FMS agent will be installed (by default it is installed in c:/program files/pandora_agent), but you can change it by clicking on Browse..., and then Next:

Pandora agent 3.0 RC3 install windows 041.png

Wait for the files to be copied.

Pandora agent 3.0 RC3 install windows 061.png

Configure the data for the agent as the IP address (or name) of the Pandora FMS server that will receive the agent data. In order to be able to change other parameters, such as the agent name (by default it takes the hostname value of the machine) or the path of the temporary files, you will have to manually edit the agent configuration.


Pandora agent 3.0 RC3 install windows 071.png

Pandora agent 3.0 RC3 install windows 072.png

Start Pandora FMS agent service, otherwise you will have to do it manually, or it will start when Windows restarts again.

Pandora agent 3.0 RC3 install windows 081.png

The installation is finished. You can change the agent parameters in the file pandora_agent.conf or through the direct link in the PandoraFMS menu.

2.7.1 Unattended Windows Agent Installation

Starting with the agent's VERSION 5.1, the installer supports unattended mode. To perform the installation, simply run the following: 

"Pandora FMS Windows Agent v7.0NG.VERSION-BUILD_ARCH.exe" /S

In case you want to install the agent in a different path than the default one: 

"Pandora FMS Windows Agent v7.0NG.VERSION-BUILD_ARCH.exe" /S /D=C:\Agent_Pandora

You can also pass certain parameters so that they are written in the configuration file of the agent to be created. Thanks to these options, the deployment of Pandora FMS agents is much more customizable. The options per command line that are supported are the following:

  • --ip: It corresponds to the token server_ip.
  • --group: It corresponds to the tokengroup.
  • --alias: It corresponds to the tokenagent_alias.

For example, if you want to create an agent that belongs to the groupApplications, with the name Mifunne and that points to the server with the IP 192.168.0.59, the command would be: 

"Pandora FMS Windows Agent v7.0NG.VERSION-BUILD_ARCH.exe" /S  --ip 192.168.0.59 --group Applications --alias Mifunne

2.7.2 Unattended Uninstallation

The uninstaller that is an executable named uninstall. exe in the Pandora FMS installation directory also enables the unattended uninstaller, to do it, run the uninstaller with the option /S .

For example, assuming that Pandora FMS is installed in the default path: 

c:\program files\pandora_agent

You should execute: 

“c:\program files\pandora_agent\uninst.exe” /S

2.7.3 Using PandoraAgent.exe from the command line

If you run pandoraagent.exe --help, it will show you something similar to this: 

C:\Program Files\pandora_agent>pandoraagent.exe --help
Pandora agent for Windows. Version 7.0NG.752(Build 210223)
Usage: pandoraagent.exe [OPTION]

Available options are:
        --install:  Install the Pandora Agent service.
        --uninstall: Uninstall the Pandora Agent service.
        --test-ssh: Test the SSH Pandora Agent configuration.
        --test-ftp: Test the FTP Pandora Agent configuration.
        --process: Run the Pandora Agent as a user process instead of a service.

C:\Program Files\pandora_agent>


To install the service (if it is not installed), just run the following inside the directory where the executable is located (usually C:\Program Files or equivalent). 

pandoraagent.exe --install

This will prompt the service on the machine, based on the path where the .exe is located.

To check whether it connects through SSH with Pandora FMS server: 

C:\Windows\system32>cd %PROGRAMFILES%

C:\Program Files>cd pandora_agent

C:\Program Files\pandora_agent>PandoraAgent.exe --test-ssh
Public key file C:\Program Files\pandora_agent\key\id_dsa.pub exists.
Private key file: C:\Program Files\pandora_agent\key\id_dsa exists.
Connecting with pfms.example.com.
Authentication successful.
Host fingerprint:
Created a blank XML file in C:\Program 
Files\pandora_agent\temp\ssh.test
Remote copying C:\Program Files\pandora_agent\temp\ssh.test on server pfms.example.com at /var/spool/pandora/data_in/ssh.test
Successfuly file copied to remote host
Successfuly disconnected from remote host
The SSH test was successful!

If you want to uninstall it, the process is the same but using: 

pandoraagent.exe --uninstall

2.7.4 Pandora FMS Windows Agent as a process

It possible, for debugging, testing and other unusual circumstances, execute the agent in "Process" mode. This is done by running it from the command line: 

pandoraagent.exe --process

There are some limitations in the execution of the process mode, since Pandora FMS is meant to run as a service and under the user SYSTEM. If you run it with another user without privileges, there will be features that will not work properly.
