Monitoring Policies

The monitoring policy system proposed in Pandora FMS allows the management of large environments through the propagation of different tool elements in a centralized and homogeneous way within the same installation.

This functionality is designed for environments where you want to monitor a series of devices using the same modules, alerts, and other features.

Thanks to policies, we can avoid having to manually set up each individual monitoring task and instead execute the entire process on a large scale by quickly applying a policy.

Some of the operations that a policy can perform are:

  • Create/Delete/Duplicate a policy.
  • Add/Remove one or more agents to a policy.
  • Create/Edit/Delete a module within a policy.
  • Create/Edit/Delete an alert within a policy.

Scenario: a complex environment where we have groupings of devices depending on their role (servers, routers…); within this environment, you want to perform certain specific monitoring tasks for each group of devices as well as some global monitoring tasks. By applying monitoring policies, we can manage monitoring homogeneously, being able to introduce modules simultaneously without having to create them manually on each of the different devices.
