Advanced module properties

Navigate to the agent's módulos view.

Select the desired module to configure.

Later open the tab a Advanced Options and proceed to configure the desired fields.

In the next two sections you will see how to configure the fields Unit and Interval and the thresholds Warning Status and Critical Status.

Configuration of the units of a module

Allows defining the units of the data obtained in a module. This unit will be included in graphs and reports, making it easier to interpret the data displayed to the user.

For example having as unit %: Placeúese inside the Unit field and type the desired unit.

Finally, click on the Update button to save and verify that the unit is correctly displayed in the modules view.

Setting the interval of a module

Configuring or modifying the module interval defines how often the module runs. This affects remote modules (not running locally), as local modules are configured in a slightly more complex way.The more frequently a remote system is monitored, the more load it will generate on the system.

Click on the Update button and you have configured the module.

Configuration of the thresholds of a module

In this section you can configure the thresholds Warning and Critical for a module;module with the values that a module must have to be in a state CRITICAL, WARNING or NORMAL.

In this example you have a CPU module to add thresholds to. This module will always be in the NORMAL(green) state as long as it is between 0% and 100%. If you want this module to display in status Critical or Warning when the CPU reaches a certain percentage, you must configure by determining the desired Warning Status and Critical Status thresholds. In this example for when the CPU reaches 90% usage the module will switch to status Warning and if it exceeds 95%, switch to Critical.

After configuring the thresholds, just click on the Update button and the thresholds will be correctly configured. The next data received will already interpret these thresholds.

Advanced threshold parameters

The box Inverse interval is used to define non-contiguous ranges. In this example, the module will change to the critical state if the value is below 20 or above 80:

In string-type modules, the threshold is defined as a substring. Similarly, it can be inverted so that the module goes to CRITICAL if no contains the substring passed as a par meter:

.

Other advanced parameters

The configuration of a module is very flexible, with dozens of possibilities. In the Pandora FMS documentation we can discover all of them.
