Pandora FMS NG 779 RRR

SAML Authentication Enhancements

Updated and improved authentication in Pandora FMS console using SAML, ensuring compatibility with SAML environments in Azure and with simpleSAML 2.

New General Event Instructions

Just like the instructions for changing the state of events, it is now possible to configure general default instructions that will be displayed when the instructions for changing the state are missing or should not be displayed.

IPAM Plugin Improvements

The IPAM Discovery MS Windows® Agent Plugin has new enhancements that allow you to update all the “Occupied”, “Available”, “Managed” and “Unmanaged” data that was previously only possible to update from Pandora FMS server.

IPAM Tasks from Satellite Servers

It is now possible to configure IPAM tasks in Pandora FMS console so that they can be run from a Satellite server with remote configuration enabled.

Credential Store Improvement in Satellite servers

Pandora FMS Satellite Servers now have the credential store for SSH, WMI and SNMPv3 modules. These credentials can also be encrypted in the configuration files used by Satellites to ensure their privacy.

Improvement in Discovery Plugin: MongoDB®

Included the ability to launch custom SQL queries to generate monitoring modules in the Discovery MongoDB plugin.

Policy Enforcement Priority in Autoconfiguration

To improve performance in monitoring policy enforcement, it is now possible to prioritize agent autoconfiguration rules, so that policies with higher priority are applied before the rest.

New macros for network modules

It is now possible to use “_agentalias_” and “_agentname_” macros as the target IP address in network modules.

Improved SNMP Trap Alerts

SNMP trap alerts can be configured to filter their triggers by the “Subtype” field.

Improved Alert Recovery

Included an option in alert recovery to be performed only upon the change of status to “normal” of a module. This option is configurable on each alert template.

Configuration Options for Collecting Logs

OpenSearch® setup in Pandora FMS Web Console for collecting logs now has more options that allow you to adjust some OpenSearch® configuration parameters for each environment.
