DESCRIPTION
Pandora FMS Server The Pandora FMS servers are the elements in charge
of performing the existing checks. They verify them and change their
status depending on the results. They are also in charge of triggering
the alerts established to control the status of data.
There are ten different, specialised servers in Pandora FMS 3.x, in
change of the previously mentioned tasks. All ten servers are
integrated in one single application, generically named "Pandora
Server" that is a multithread (multiprocess) application which executes
in sepparated subprocesses (threads) each of the instances or Pandora
FMS's specialised servers.
- Data Server
- Network Server
- SNMP Server
- WMI Server
- Recognition Server
- Plugins Server
- Prediction Server
- WEB Test Server
- Export Server
- Inventory Server
Pandora FMS servers are always on and permanently verify if any element
has any problem and it is defined as alert. If this happens, it will
execute the action defined in the alarm, such as sending an SMS, an e-
mail, or triggering the execution of a script.
