New dashboards
New dashboards have been added, which are easier to create, edit and customize. In addition, they canbe used as custom screens for each user, who will have the possibility to create their own views including
maps, events, visual console views or tree views, among others.

The new dashboards will allow you to set the visual consoles and other components in slideshow mode,through which the screens will automatically rotate on the monitor. After this changes, previous
dashboards must be configured again since their elements might be misplaced.

Improved log collection
The Pandora FMS log collecting tool integrated with ElasticSearch has been improved so that it can behosted in large environments with multiple nodes.

Log searches, database queries for their collecting and cache usage have also been optimized for log view
exportation. In addition, logstash has been removed, thus reducing the number of dependencies.

Improvements
Alert Correlation
For this update, we have kept working on improving alert correlation: adding drop-downs to validations tomake them more intuitive and new text fields to elaborate more complex checks, among other optimizations.
