First position !

WHAT IS PANDORA FMS ?

Pandora FMS is an all-purpose monitoring system.

5

WHAT IT DOES WHERE IT WORKS

Gathers information from any

kind of logic system.

Generates customized alerts

and notifications

Shows graphs, reports, etc

and monitoring maps in a

WEB environment.

Applications and operating systems.

Network and communications.

Business processes (BPM).

User experience on WEB

environments (browser automation),

Electrical comsumption,

temperature monitoring, external

sensors, etc.

WHAT IS PANDORA FMS ?

6

Is an OpenSource

project, under the

leadership of

Artica, a Spanish

company founded

in 2005.

There are thousands

of companies using it,

and more than

450.000 downloads*

It is used all around

the world in more

than 75 different

countries.

Big corporations like

Telefónica choose

Pandora FMS to

replace other

monitoring solutions

like BMC Patrol, HP

OVO, IMB Tivoli or

NetlQ, achieving very

significant savings.

IT GLOBAL MONITORING

Availability management

Fault management in infraestructure, ITIL

metric calculations (MTTR, MTBF), recovery

actions on problems.

Service Level Agreement

BPM, business metrics, SLA, OLA's and KPI's.

Different kind of views and realtime

dashboards.

Capacity management

Fault and performance history monitoring,

custom scheduled reports, trend prediction,

and projection reporting for capacity

planning.

Temperature, humidity, flood, power, etc.

15

NETWORKING

Any manufacturer: Cisco, Juniper,

3com, Teldat, Huawei, D-Link.

DATABASES

Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Mysql…

SUPPORTED PROTOCOLS

SNMP, HTTP, LDAP, Ping, TCP,

WMI, RADIUS, DNS, SQL queries…

WEB USER EXPERIENCE

Latency, connection, login process,

sessions, buying process, etc.

AGENT BASED MONITORING

HA supported in the agents.

Agents can store data in a local

buffer on connections failure.

It can execute commands in

response to a failure.

Lightweight agents for any OS.

It has pre-conditions previous to

monitoring.

Scheduled monitoring.

Remote agent management.

Agents can collect inventory

information (services, software…)

16

REMOTE MONITORING

NETWORKING

• Full support for SNMP, TCP, ICMP,

etc

• Automated network sweep.

• Remote sensors and drones.

• Topolological maps

WEB

• Step by step navigation.

• Download time, user experience.

• Content validation.

• API \ Webservices checking.

17

SERVERS

25

METACONSOLE OPERATION

The meta-console implements a

way to allocate the monitoring

among different servers

Each server has its own

database, console and server,

and needless to say its own

agents.

We are able to control

thousands of dispositives in this

way.

26

WHY PANDORA FMS ?

ADVANTAGES Same tool for

different environments and

technologies

TECHNOLOGY

PANDORA FMS TECHNOLOGY

Lightweight application server

(Apache/PHP5).

WEB Interface based on AJAX

and HTML5

WEB Integration based on REST

Web Services.

MySQL5 for Database backend.

Experimental support for Oracle

and PostgreSQL

Modular design on Perl5.

Agent plugins developed in

VBScript, PowerShell, Perl,

Python and Shellscript

Lightweight agents for

Microsoft Windows and Unix

platforms. In Microsoft, we use

native API’s

33

INFORMATION GATHERING

34

Pandora FMS does not use lots of

abstraction layers witch slow down the

information extration from the host

system.

It uses native commands and tools to

obtain information directly from the

system

It uses Windows native low level API to

get the information directly if possible.

Unix agent developed on PERL.

Windows agent coded in C++

AGENT PLUGINS

• It permits complex performance testing

and add it in an autonomous way, easy

to integrate.

• You can use the monitoring scrìpts

already in place and use it in Pandora

FMS.

• Plugins are interchangeable and

reusable between different agents.

• Plugins support any languages: Scripting

(Perl, VBS, Powershell, Python), Java

and C/C++.

35

EASY TO INTEGRATE

There are many ways to integrate with Pandora FMS, by using different

mechanisms:

36

Command Line Tool to administer Pandora FMS, for a better

script integration.

Direct integration with suites like IBM Tivoli or HP OpenView.

Easy to use WEB API Rest.

Export / Import information using CSV format.

URL Actions in the GUI allows contextual integrations.
