What is Pandora FMS
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Pandora watches your systems and applications, and allows you to know the status of any element of those systems. Pandora could detect a
|
|
network interface down, a defacement in your website, a memory leak in one of your server app, or the movement of any value of the NASDAQ
|
|
new technology market. If you want, Pandora could send out SMS message when your systems fails... or when Google's value drop below US$ 33.
|
|
|
|
Pandora will adjust, like an octopus, to your systems and requirements, because has been designed to be open, modular, multiplattform and
|
|
easy to customize and use, all integrated into a scalable and distributed architecture.
|
|
|
|
Pandora runs on any operating system, with specific agents for each platform gathering data and sending it to a server, it has specific
|
|
agents for GNU/Linux, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, BSD/IPSO, and Windows 2000, XP and 2003.
|
|
|
|
Pandora can also monitor any kind of TCP/IP service, without the need to install agents, and monitor network systems such as load
|
|
balancers, routers, switches, operating systems, applications, or simply printers if you need. Pandora also supports SNMP for collecting
|
|
data and for receiving traps.
|
|
|
|
A few examples of common resources monitored by Pandora could be processor load, disk and memory usage, running processes, log files,
|
|
environmental factors such as temperature, or application values like strings contained in web pages or any possible way to collect data in
|
|
an automatic way.
