Pandora FMS is a monitoring application to watch systems and applications.
|
|
|
|
|
Pandora FMS allows to know the status of any element of your bussiness systems.
|
|
|
|
|
Pandora FMS watches your hardware, your software, your multilayer system and, of
|
|
|
|
|
course, your Operating System. Pandora FMS can detect a network interface down
|
|
|
|
|
or the movement of any NASDAQ new technology market value. If you wish, Pandora
|
|
|
|
|
FMS can send a SMS message when your system or your application fails... or when
|
|
|
|
|
Google stock value drops below 330 US$.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pandora FMS will adjust, like an octopus, to your systems and requirements,
|
|
|
|
|
because it has been designed to be open, modular, multiplattform and easy to
|
|
|
|
|
customize. Pandora FMS is developed for system administrators.

What else can Pandora FMS do?
|
|

|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pandora FMS is a monitoring tool that not only measures if a parameter is right
|
|
|
|
|
or wrong. Pandora FMS can quantify the state (right or wrong), or store a value
|
|
|
|
|
(numeric or alphanumeric) for months if necessary. Pandora FMS can measure
|
|
|
|
|
performances, compare values among differen systems and set alarms over
|
|
|
|
|
thresholds. Pandora FMS works against a Database so that it can generate
|
|
|
|
|
reports, statistics, SLA and meausre anything: Operating Systems, aplications
|
|
|
|
|
and hardware systems—such as firewalls, proxies, Databases, web servers, VPN,
|
|
|
|
|
routers, switches, processes, services, remote accesses to servers, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
everything integrated in a open and distributed architecture. Pandora FMS can be
|
|
|
|
|
deployed over any Operating System, with specific agents for each platform.
|
|
|
|
|
There are already agents for Windows (2000, XP, 2003), GNU/Linux, Solaris,
|
|
|
|
|
HP-UX, BSD, AIX, IPSO and OpenWRT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pandora FMS not only gathers information through its agents, but it can also
|
|
|
|
|
monitor any hardware sistem with TCP/IP connectivity —such as load balancing
|
|
|
|
|
systems, routers, switches, printers, etc.— through SNMP and TCP/ICMP checks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Often the question "What kind of things can be monitored?" shows up, since
|
|
|
|
|
Pandora FMS can —virtually— monitor anthing, sometimes is convenient give some
|
|
|
|
|
specific examples. Pandora FMS can monitor any process or system that, though a
|
|
|
|
|
command, returns a value, and also any value inside a log file of the Operating
|
|
|
|
|
System.
