Introduction

Of course, more advanced work can be done such as alerts on events, correlation, etc. The first alert to do is to send an email when one of the machines that are already being monitored (with the Host alive module) goes offline.

Pandora FMS alerts are composed by three elements:

• Command.
• Action.
• Template.

In this specific case we are going to use a predefined command (sending emails), we are going to modify an action that already exists (Mail to XXX) and we are going to use a template that also exists, the Critical condition template, that will execute the alert when the module in question appears in critical condition.
