NEW FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTSAWS multitenant monitoring
In the last releases, Discovery has acquired a great importance within the new Pandora FMS features.
Thus, AWS monitoring has been modified to meet the needs of our customers.

Previously, you could not monitor one AWS instance per node, nor could you monitor multiple environments in parallel on the same account. With this update, it will be possible to carry out multiple
AWS monitoring simultaneously in the same Pandora FMS node.

Hadoop finally joins Pandora FMS plugin library
Hadoop is an Open Source system used to store, process and analyze large volumes of data. It also
stores the data in such a way that an HDFS (Hadoop Distributed Filesystem) is created, that is to say astorage space formed by the hard disks of all the nodes of the cluster.

The HDFS is managed through a dedicated namenode server to host the file system index and a secondary Namenode to generate snapshots of the main Namenode memory structures. This prevents
file system corruption and reduces data loss.

The plugin created by Pandora FMS developers will allow to monitor the cluster master nodes (Namenode), besides being able to consult those secondary nodes (Datanodes) obtaining the information of
disk space, performance, memory, heartbeats, among others.

Download the plugin and all the documentation in Pandora FMS library.

the Custom Fields view.

Now it will be possible to export to CSV the filter applied in the custom view, accessible through thefilters (a new column “Agent_status” has been added) and the pagination (it will show the page in which

New redirection of grep_log plugin for Windows
Although this plugin for Windows existed before, at the time of executing it, it created all the necessary
information inside the folder that contained the plugin.

With this update, it will be possible to create a temporary folder by means of environment variables,
being able to modify these to the chosen path of the plugin. Previously, all the environment variables
generated by the plugin were saved directly in the folder containing that extension, which generated
space problems.

Improvements in the visualization of events
In the past months we have been working hard on Pandora FMS interface with the aim of making iteasier to use and to make it much more comfortable and simple for users.

Among other things, in this 736 release, we have improved the view of events, changing the default
filter of these. We can find another visual change in the services view in the table view. Small visualbugs in the previously changed views have also been fixed, in addition to adding a button to export
the table into CSV files.
