* bin/pandora_server: Better error management, avoiding to show Enterprise
	loading errors, and showing in console critical errors, helping to identify
	silly errors like DB credentials, etc.
	Added usage of pandora_get_sharedconfig() to get configuration from DB.

	* Config.pm: Updated build. Added pandora_get_sharedconfig(). Force three
	config tokens to be readed from DB, using default values if cannot be readen
	from database (agentaccess, realtimestat and stats_interval).

	* Core.pm: Added new parameter to pandora_event() to pass status of the 
	event (validated, not validated). Implemented auto-validation of low 
	priority events: normal/ok events will be always shown as autovalidated, and
	warning and normal events will be validated with critical events, and when
	a module is restored (normal/ok), all it's warning/critical pending events
	will be validated. 

	Fixed also bug with FF Threshold who doesnt' trigger events until FF + 1 
	instead FF value.

	* Server.pm,
	NetworkServer.pm,
	Dataserver.pm,
	ReconServer.pm: Raise event with status 0 (non validated) by default.

	* NetworkServer.pm: Implemented support for SNMP v3.

	* util/pandora_db.pm: Very important upgrade to this script. Now will
	delete all huge tables (tagente_datos, tagente_datos_string and 
	tagent_acccess) using several independent blocks (by default 100) avoiding
	mysql locks which happen in the past.

Pandora FMS: The Flexible Monitoring System v3.0
=================================================

http://www.pandorafms.org

How to install
--------------

Please refer to documentation on our website. This includes schemas, quick-install 
guides and how to use preconfigured packages and installers for all components.

What is Pandora FMS?
--------------------

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.
