Create a Visual Console with Monitoring Details
One of Pandora FMS display options is Visual Consoles. These allow to represent monitoring information in real time in a full graphic way. In this Visual Console example, we will create a distributed network example around the world and we will see how when clicking on the node that appears over Spain, we can see another map of Spain with the elements from that particular installation.
