===== Command Center =====

The **Command Center (Metaconsole)** is a web interface that allows to see, synchronize and manage in a unified way different Pandora FMS monitoring systems -called **nodes** or //instances//.

Thanks to this Command Center (Metaconsole) you may monitor hundreds of thousands of different devices centrally, without having to look at each Instance (**node**) individually.

The Command Center (Metaconsole) offers a //multitenant// service, where it can be the access point for a user belonging to one company or where a single console can offer services to different companies, and within each company to different users of the same company.

It is denoted by its //horizontal scalability//, where each node has its own database to operate:

It is a complex environment, which incorporates the necessary functions to manage different instances. The **Command Center (Metaconsole)** is designed not to be managed at a low level, like the instances, but to operate with the whole infrastructure, centralizing all of its nodes.

Command Center (Metaconsole) environments must be fully installed on RHEL 8 / Rocky Linux 8.
