Metaconsole centralized mode: Command CenterIn this version, we introduce a new Metaconsole component, the CommandCenter, which allows working in a unified way in nodes, in a much more agile
and fail-safe way. Any changes to the system configuration will be propagatedto the nodes automatically.
From this version onwards, if you wish to configure anything from the Metaconsole, it is necessary to enable centralized mode. If disabled, it will only be used
for licensing and display. This mode’s activation is necessary for proper working.

A new server has been added to Pandora FMS. The alert server will be in charge ofprocessing and sending all the alerts, thus being able to free threads from the restof the servers so as not to overload data processing while the alerts are launched
in environments with many alerts. This server is optional and if it is not enabled,
the alerts continue to work as before.

KNOWN CHANGES AND LIMITATIONSThe use of the Metaconsole wizard will only be available when centralized modeis enabled.
