Patch Notes

777.1 LTS

LTS Patches

We only release patches for Long Time Support (LTS) versions, except for some particular cases where we do so for Regular Rolling Release (RRR) versions. Security patches are developed as soon as possible after the vulnerability is detected.

Patches for LTS versions usually include critical-bug troubleshooting and solutions to security problems.

Bug fixes

FIX LTS#	GitLab#	Description
13922	13845	Fixed in services, both in their creation, editing and reading, the specific permissions on the group All and the users who are assigned (or not) that key group of Pandora FMS. These changes also work in both nodes and in the Command Center (Metaconsole).
13975	13973	The check intervals of the modules created were fixed by means of monitoring policies (minimum possible: 60 seconds).
13983	13962	Fixed duplication of tokens related to VMWare® monitoring in PFMS database.
13984 14153	13892 13947	Fixed in the nodes, for the tree view and the services view, the links to the corresponding agents and/or modules. Verified the links of eleven different feature sections.
13985	13944	The aliases of the agents resulting from the general search in the Web Console are shown as they are (search keywords are case unsensitive). Fixed for both nodes and for the Command Center (Metaconsole).
13987	13982	Fixed the public link of a Visual Console to work in web browsers with normal session or session in "incognito" mode, both in nodes and in the Command Center (Metaconsole).
13989	13932	Removed old Agent Access Graph configuration (feature removed in PFMS version 775) so that it does not redirect links either in the nodes or in the Command Center (Metaconsole).
14045	14024	Fixed loading slowness of the main view after logging into the Web Console (database query optimization for agent groups for users and superadmins).
14046 14044	14041	API v2: fixed the event update command for fields Extra ID and Source in the Command Center (Metaconsole) in such a way as to prevent the entity entering into the database.
14049	14013	Fixed the process of reading and writing the content or value of the token of accept insecure certificates for WUX execution with Selenium 3.
14067	14066	API v2: Fixed the validation of events containing ID Extra (when the token Keep in process is active or not).
14070 14044	14062 14074 14076	Fixed Custom data filter and Custom, fields in the event view filter, so that they may identify events created with PFMS API v2 PFMS.
14071 14044	14061	Fixed the reading of the date and time field in the Acoustic Console (formerly called Sound Console) when an event with an alert is created from the API v2.
14086 14044	14047	API v2: Fixed event update in the Command Center (Metaconsole) to return HTTP 200 instead of HTTP 500. API v1 must be used to update events in the nodes from the Command Center.
14091	14087	Fixed agent deletion in nodes from the Command Center (Metaconsole) by means of Bulk operations.
14092	14089	API v2: Fixed status and eventType ields for the list events command, for the fields to return the corresponding data. In addition, fixed the Web Console event view filter to support API v1 and other search features.
14093 14044	14090	API v2: Fixed the event list so that comments can be filtered by action, user and free search both in nodes and in the Command Center (Metaconsole).
14102	14099	Fixed histogram graphs in Dashboard for when the modules have triggered and retrieved alerts.
14125	14113 11873	When executing a scheduled downtime for all the modules of one or more agents so that modules are unaffected while agents enter silent mode at the start of the scheduled downtime and return to their normal state at the end of it.
14126	14118 12341	Included VBS plugins for MS Windows in Software Agents to be enabled and disabled with the option to enable and disable inventories. Verified that it can also be done manually by the Web Console.
14134	14133 14080	Removed the HA health check (HTTP 500 error), this code is inherited from the old method of operation of the HA, while it is replaced by a new compatible feature.
14135	13900 14161	Removed the AWS view from the Web Console menu for being incompatible with the new Discovery 2.0 PFMS version.

14155	14043 13282	Fixed the link sharing option in menu Operation→Reporting→Graph analytics, for these graphs, in addition to checking that it works and supports Visual Consoles.

14183	14179	Fixed the module histogram, both in nodes and in the Command Center to correctly draw in blue when the module has not actually been started.

Known Changes and Limitations

FIX LTS#	GitLab#	Description
13920	13915	Pandora FMS and Pandora ITSM, through inventory items, have an integration that was changed, allowing to create and edit tickets with assigned Pandora agents and also without any assigned agent (with the subsequent option to assign agents if needed) and the option to add the agent in Pandora ITSM as an item (this allows in PITSM the option to filter pro agent PFMS).
14127 14044	14116 14124	API v2: Limited the scope of several read-only fields in event editing and they also cannot be modified by the Web Console. Removed also PUT comment and DELETE comment from the list of available commands.
