Pandora FMS(Flexible

Monitoring System)

Page 2: Pandora fms

Overview

Pandora FMSsoftware solution for monitoring computer networks that allows monitoring in a visual way the status and performance of several parameters from different operating systems, servers, applications and hardware systems such as firewalls, proxies, databases, web servers or routers.

Page 3: Pandora fms

Overview cont.

• Pandora FMS can be deployed in almost any operating system. It features remote monitoring (WMI, SNMP, TCP. UDP, ICMP, HTTP...) and it can also use agents.

• An agent is available for each platform. It can also monitor hardware systems with a TCP/IP stack, such as load balancers, routers, network switches, printers or firewalls.

Architectures

• Pandora FMS has a very flexible and versalite design and allow to work in several different ways.

• Pandora FMS works with remote remonitoring and with local agent-based monitoring, and of course, allow to combine both of them.

• Pandora FMS is developed in several languages: C++, Perl and VBS in the agents, Perl in the server and PHP5/Javascript in the Web Console.

Architectures cont.

Export serverThe main idea consist on creating a hierarchical structure that distribute the information from down to top, being the top point the more global one, that collect only an extract of basic information of Pandora FMS installations at the lowest level.

Architectures cont.

MetaconsolePandora FMS Enterprise version, thanks to the Meta Console, implements a way for distributing the monitoring between different Pandora FMS servers that are physically independent. Each server has its own database, console and server. The Meta Console doesn't process information, it only "reads" the information from its original source

Architectures cont.

Tentacle proxysupports proxy usage (HTTP/Connect mode), so agents can contact directly with the server using an intermediate standard proxy. We also can use a new tool called Tentacle Proxy Server, which as its name says, is used to centralize all communication between Pandora FMS and the agents, allowing the file management and remote configuration for policy based-monitoring.

Features

Autodiscovery and network topology detectorPandora FMS is able to scan and detect new non monitored systems periodically, detecting its OS and profile, based on TCP ports.

Features cont.

Performance & Availability MonitoringPandora FMS provides a complete solution for performance & availability, monitoring the key resources across the infrastructure, to ensure that all devices are ready to respond to end user requests.

Features cont.

Fault & Event ManagementIt is possible to search events, filtering them by group, type, severity, or event status. All this is done from the Web Console.

Visual consoleallows to each user to define their customized view of the monitoring, this is a customized-defined graph view, based on a representation in the space, selected items, represented status, data, graphs or other visual console status, scaling always the critical event.

Features cont.

SNMP MonitoringIt is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrators attention. Pandora FMS can monitor any device with SNMP protocol directly from the Pandora FMS Network Server
