Simplifying monitoring: Pandora FMS Discovery - Part 2
Our challenge is to make monitoring simple, that’s why in this release 733 Discovery’s functionality has
been improved with the introduction of the following changes:•Discovery Host and Devices Net Scan: the possibility of discovering new networks using acustom Recon Script that executes a custom logic (for example: IPMI detection, integration withcustom IoT devices, etc.) has been introduced.

•Discovery Task List: visual improvement of the Recon by means of Net Scan in the Task List
section, with which it will be possible to preview a network map with the devices found by thetask, in addition it will be possible to see live the progress of the same one.

March 2019Local Network Monitoring: Pandora NTA
A new network probe, Pandora NTA (Network Traffic Analyzer), will allow to analyze local network
traffic in real time and provide traffic statistics to know who consumes more traffic on the network.
In addition, Pandora NTA will be able to generate consumption maps between machines to knowwhat is happening in the network, identifying all the devices connected by IP, as well as all the traffic
flows to other machines and the errors they produce, such as duplicated MAC’s or erroneous maskconfigurations.

UEFI support
The possibility of Pandora FMS installation by ISO through UEFI boot mode has been introduced.
Thanks to this, it will not be necessary to have the BIOS mode in the machine where we want toinstall Pandora FMS.

Update Manager improvements
Until now, when an update was made through the Update Manager, it only updated the console
by inserting the necessary files into the installation without deleting those that were not necessary.
As of this release 733, obsolete files that are not needed inside Pandora FMS console will also be
eliminated, decreasing the size of the installation.

Custom Fields drop-down
In the agent Custom Fields we have introduced the possibility of predefining a combo of options inorder to pre-configure these options and avoid transcription errors.

Unique IP of an agent
Pandora FMS has a system to check that each agent name is unique, with this update a new 		functionality has been included to also verify that the ip introduced is unique in each agent.

Other improvements* Network traffic monitoring system improvements with NetFlow
The current NetFlow functionalities have been revised and refactored, as well as adding new applications such as being able to navigate between the information obtained from NetFlow probes withinteractive views to show the largest traffic consumers, the IP’s with the most connections, consumption
by ports, etc. NetFlow’s live view interface has been greatly improved and some usability bugs havebeen corrected.
We have also added an interactive map with the network traffic between each IP pair, which will allow
us to see the topology of our network traffic in an interval of time.
