New Features and Improvements
Revised Graphical Interface
In preparation for the upcoming LTS release and with the goal of enhancing overall usability, both Pandora FMS Web Console and Command Center have been thoroughly reviewed and updated.
This is not just a visual change — several menu sections have been reorganized to make the interface more intuitive and easy to use.
These improvements are particularly noticeable in the Console’s dark theme, where the color palette has been completely redesigned.
Updated General Wizard
Pandora FMS Console already featured a general wizard for performing some basic actions, but it did not fully meet the needs of our users.
We have now refactored this general wizard to include options that are especially useful for new users, simplifying and streamlining the creation of new monitoring elements, alerts, and general configuration settings, among other operations.
New Monitoring Type: API Request
This version includes a new monitoring type that allows requests to API services in order to retrieve and analyze information.
Sending Monitoring Data via API
An API endpoint has been added to the Console that enables queuing monitoring data directly to the server, which will then process it in the same way as the traditional XML-based system.
Check the documentation of the new API endpoint →
This enhancement significantly increases flexibility for monitoring through custom plugins.
Exec Server – Automatic Reverse SSH Tunnel Configuration
Some Console features — such as the SNMP Wizard — make requests from a different server possible, for example, a Satellite Server.
Previously, this required manual configuration through the Exec Server.
From now on, it is possible to automatically set up a reverse SSH tunnel directly from the Console for any Pandora FMS Server or Satellite by simply providing a few parameters. This tunnel will then be used for all Exec Server operations.

Improvements and Changes in Satellite Configuration
Alongside the previous feature, several new options have been added to enhance Satellite Server management and extend their capabilities, including:
-
Generation of specific remote configuration files for Satellite Agents:
Until now, it was not possible to have both a Satellite Agent and an Endpoint Agent on the same system with remote configuration enabled. This is now supported thanks to the separation of configuration files for Satellite Servers. -
Direct creation of Satellite Agents and modules from the interface:
With the new configuration distinction, specific forms are now available to configure modules directly for Satellite Agents.
Please note that due to these new features, users who previously deployed Satellite Agent monitoring through policies will need to redefine those modules using the new forms.
Automatic Creation of Modules Unlinked from Policies
In previous versions, the ability to add monitoring to agents using module templates was removed to promote monitoring deployment through policies.
This version includes a new option that allows monitoring deployed through policies to automatically create unlinked modules — effectively restoring the flexibility previously provided by module templates and extending that feature to monitoring policies.
Execute Manual Actions from the Visual Console
Users have frequently requested the ability to configure elements within Visual Consoles to perform actions such as executing an alert.
It is now possible to configure these types of elements, which not only allows alert execution but enables making custom API service calls directly from the console.
New Interface for Log Collection Configuration
Log collection is a key element in monitoring, also required for features such as SIEM monitoring.
To simplify its deployment and configuration, new options have been added to allow users to enable and configure log collection directly from the Web Console by filling out a specific form.
Browser Notification System
Pandora FMS Console already included an internal notification system, but notifications were not visible when the browser window was minimized.
Users can now enable browser-level notifications so they remain visible even when Pandora FMS is not in the foreground.
Alert Command for Sending Notifications
Regarding the previous feature, a new alert command was added to generate notifications directly in the Pandora FMS Console.
By combining this feature with browser notifications, users may now receive desktop alerts whenever an alert is triggered.
Alert Command for Making API Requests
Continuing the integration of API interactions, a new alert command was added to allow alerts to perform API calls — useful both for monitoring tasks and for interactive elements within Visual Consoles.
New Report Type: Group Alert Report
Until now, reports could only include alert data for individual agents.
From this version onwards, it is possible to configure Group Alert Reports, allowing alerts to be displayed for entire agent groups — increasing reporting flexibility and scope.
New Report Type: General Inventory
Previously, the Web Console included a specific view to display a general inventory of all agents in the environment.
This view has now been incorporated into the reporting system as a new report type.
Renaming the Pinned Items System (Favorites)
Pandora FMS Console includes a feature that allows users to mark sections and views for quick access from the main menu. Originally, this feature was called “Favorites”, but it has now been renamed to “Pinned Items” to differentiate it from a similar feature available in Visual Consoles or Services.
New Process: pandora_supervisor
Previously, when updating an environment through WARP, it was sometimes necessary to manually restart the pandora_server process to complete the update successfully.
Starting with this version, that manual step is no longer required in nearly all cases. A new process called pandora_supervisor has been added, which automatically handles this restart whenever the server is updated through WARP.
This change is completely transparent to Pandora FMS users — no additional configuration or manual action is required.
Removal of .disco Packages from Automatic Distribution
To make Pandora FMS installation packages lighter, all Discovery PFMS .disco packages have been removed from automatic distribution.
This does not mean these packages are unavailable — they can still be accessed from the Pandora FMS Marketplace, either through a web browser or directly from the integrated Marketplace connection within the Pandora FMS Console.
The only implication of this change is that .disco package code will no longer be updated automatically with each new release; instead, updates must be performed manually from Pandora FMS Web Console.
