Presentation

The purpose of this guide is to introduce you to Pandora FMS in a quick and concise way, to someone who is not familiar ith the tool, but who has medium/high knowledge of networks and systems. The goal is not going through all of Pandora FMS features, but rather covering the most relevant ones, so that user who read this guide may execute basic admin and operation tasks in record time.

Bear in mind that the official Pandora FMS certification courses takes about 40 hours and that the official documentation covers more that 120 topics. By means of this guide we intend to bridge the gap so that you may get the hang of Pandora FMS smoothly.

Currently, due to the quality of the Internet speed (100 mbps or more), it is recommended to install it online (cloud) and, once finished, go to the monitoring starting point.
