How to update
Pandora FMS

New online documentation
We have migrated our online documentation system to a new site: https://pandorafms.com/manual which allows better searches, better navigation andbetter mobile usability. It also allows exporting to PDF on demand, and very soon in
eBook format too (ePub).

There are several ways
to update Pandora FMS
console:Through Update
Manager, in Pandora
FMS console itself,
automatically (it requires
console internetconnection).
Through Update
Manager, in Pandora FMS
console itself, manually,through OUM update files.
By manually installing
packages (rpm, deb...) andlater updating the console
through the web interface.
The server will have tobe manually updated
through RPM or tarball
packages.

You can find more
information about
Pandora FMS downloads
on our website:

New Metaconsole interface
The visual interface of the Metaconsole has been modified to improve its
navigability and display, adding the left side menu similar to that of the node. We
have also unified some styles that will make working with the Metaconsole morefamiliar to how you work with the node.

OpenSource version
packages.
Enterprise version
packages.
For detailed informationand the steps to follow
to update each item,
classified by operating
systems, go to our Wiki

New Update Manager (WARP update)
WARP is the new version of the old Pandora FMS update system (Update manager).
The new version allows you to apply server and console updates without having to
execute any command in the console. In the Metaconsole, updates are applied in a
distributed manner from the Metaconsole to the nodes, with a simple click. From
now on, updates incorporate a digital signature so that the source of said update
can be manually validated (both online and offline).

Release Notes 7.0 NG 755
June 2021

Special updates notes
Due to the new update system of version 755, WARP Update, it is necessary to
perform a couple of extra steps in the console after updating the server. As ofversion 755, the server will be automatically updated from the console using thepandora_ha component that already existed in the Enterprise version and that isnow open for the Community. This component allows you to control server performance (stopping and starting it, controlling the status of HA and updates, if any).
Before updating the server it will be necessary to stop thet:

service pandora_ha stop
/etc/inid.d/pandora_server top

And start it again after updating it:

service pandora_ha start

Or through the init.d script that has been modified to start pandora_ha/etc/init.d/pandora_server start

It is also recommended to update the console memory limit so that you can installserver updates:
Edit the /etc/php.ini file and add the following line to the end of the file or replace
the value of the memory_limit parameter you have in your file with the following:
memory_limit = 800M

Known changes and limitations
The web monitoring server, also called Goliat, becomes part of Pandora FMS
OpenSource version.

Fixed vulnerabilities
Thanks to the information provided by Kamilló Matek.
In this release, different entryways (CSRF, Clickjacking) to Pandora FMS code
through the web browser in the following views have been solved:
