22. Inventory

Pandora FMS allows you to keep an inventory of the devices monitored by Pandora FMS. It is possible to keep a list of the processor model, storage, running services, software installed on the equipment, among other information.

  • The inventory is independent of monitoring and can be obtained: 
        - Remotely, using Inventory Modules.
        - Locally, with Pandora FMS Software Agent, through agent plugins.

We can create our own Remote and Local inventory modules, but we do not go into detail in this quick guide.

Remote inventory

To assign this type of inventory to a remote agent, access the agent edition, particularly the Inventory tab.

Fill in the fields with the following information:

  • The type of inventory you wish to obtain, in this example the CPU model.
  • The target IP, which in this case is 192.168.1.77.
  • The username and password of an existing user on the remote machine.

Optionally you may set a custom interval for the  module execution and make use of custom fields. Click on the Add button.

The inventory module will have been applied and you will be able to perform actions such as deleting, editing and forcing the execution of the module by clicking on its corresponding icons.

You may see the data collected by the remote inventory module from Operation -> Monitoring -> Inventory.
