  • Diagnostic tool: in Management → Admin tools → Diagnostic info, it will provide a list of essential system information.

Advanced information sources

Information sources (logs) where we can look for more information, errors, etc.:

  • /var/log/pandora/pandora_server.log Server log file, contains very important clues. If you want more detail, modify the "verbosity" parameter in the server configuration file to show more detail.
  • /var/log/pandora/pandora_server.error Server uncaptured error log file, contains traces of errors not handled by the server, usually relevant issues.
  • /var/log/pandora/pandora_agent.log Unix agent log file.
  • %PROGRAM_FILES%\pandora_agent\pandora_agent.log MS Windows agent log file.
  • /var/www/html/pandora_console/log/console.log Pandora FMS Web Console log file.
  • /var/log/httpd/error_log Apache server error log file (httpd).
