In some sections, an orange color will appear to indicate that an alarm was triggered.

It summarizes the state of a group of agents according to the color code in the previous section. In the cases of Warning and Critical, it is enough for one agent to have either of these two states for the group state to change accordingly; for the Unknown status, all agents should be in that state for the group status to change.

In several Pandora FMS sections, you may search for and select agents using a special text box.

This table displays information about the network interfaces of the devices to be monitored. It appears as an informative option for the nodes in network maps, among other features.
