This is a minor update with new functionalities and features. The latest version with maximum stability is Pandora FMS 767 HOPE LTS (Long Term Support).
Regular releases (RRR) are monthly releases that bring together many changes and new functionalities. They are ideal for those users who need to be up to date and are not afraid of finding some unpolished detail. The LTS versions are oriented to consolidate all the changes of the RRR versions and offer maximum stability.
New features and improvements
Improvement in credential store security
From this version onwards, Pandora FMS encrypts user password hashing using the algorithm CRYPT_BLOWFISH.
New application information display
With an “About” modal window that replaces the Web Console footer.
New network monitoring: SFlow
The possibility of obtaining monitoring through SFlow has been incorporated into our flow management.
New dashboard widget: Data Matrix
The new “Data Matrix” widget has been added. Through this widget you may represent the information of the requested modules in a decompressed way, taking into account the value of the requested interval.
New macro _group_contact_
Added new macro _group_contact_ in event responses.
Sound alerts in Command Center
Added the sound alert configuration feature in the Command Center, just like the one from the nodes.
New indicator in visual console: Orange box
We rescued a feature from version 6: the ability to display an orange box on visual certain console elements if the agent or module has a triggered alert, as well as recursive elements that reflect the status of the other visual console:
New pie charts
Pie charts have been modified for more accurate representation of their data.
LDAP
PLUGIN – ENTERPRISE
New parameters have been added, –module_prefix to add a prefix to modules and –tentacle_address and –tentacle_port to be able to send data by Tentacle and be able to see those in Pandora FMS before installing the plugin.

Known changes and limitations
Due to the arrival of EOL from versions PHP 7.4, 7.3 and 7.2, version LTS 767 “Hope” will be the last one that will support said versions, PHP being Pandora FMS official version for the coming ones.
