Introduction

The purpose of thisthe pluginPandora IOT integration is to monitor messages received from aan mqtt broker server.

TheFor pluginthis, connectsthe integration makes use of an MQTT broker server, which opens the possibility of subscribing to a databasetopic thatto stores thereceive messages and extractsa basedDiscovery onplugin, somewhich filtersallows configuring a filtering of these messages and visualizing the post-processing of these messages in the PandoraFMS console through agents and modules that weare wantsent via XML to the Pandora server.

The monitoring of IoT (Internet of Things) devices allows to supervise generatingin real time the status of connected equipment and sensors, facilitating fast and effective decision making. By integrating these devices into monitoring systems, companies can detect problems in advance, optimize their operations and reduce downtime.

Why is it useful to monitor IoT devices?
