New features and improvements
State change thresholds based on percentage
It is an improvement that many users had requested. It allows a module changing
status to be specified based on a percentage change in the value of the last
data received. That way, it is more intuitive to define the situations in which you
consider that a module goes into WARNING or CRITICAL status

New trend modules
These new modules compare the current average with the average of the previous
period and returns the difference in absolute value or as a percentage. They areuseful to express in a simple way that, for example, the use of your network iscurrently 25% higher than last week, or that the temperature is 2ºC above normal
if you compare it to the previous month.

How to update
Pandora FMS
There are several ways
to update Pandora FMS
console:Capacity planning modules
It makes a prediction based on the time window specified by the user, assuming
a more or less linear performance of the target module. This type of predictive
modules allows you to find out how many days you have left until the disk iscompletely full, or the number of requests to the database that you will havewithin a month, if you continue as before. These modules replace the oldprediction modules.

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.

More IPAM improvements
Following in the wake of the previous release, we add some additional features toour IPAM such as defining SITES, isolated islands that allow duplicate addresses.
We also added the possibility of defining a location of a previous list, ordering thelists, editing from the supernet browser and more improvements have also been
incorporated.

Plugin Library
Pandora FMS official
technical support

Editor of special days in Metaconsole
The special days editor has been added and the way to assign special days to alert
definition has been improved, making it more intuitive.

Auto-enforcement of policies by groupA system of automatic application of policies has been designed so that groups canbe assigned policies and when a new agent is added to the group, the associatedpolicies are applied automatically. This improves current auto-provisioning
operations and enables large amounts of agents to be handled quickly.
Metaconsole inventory
Inventory display feature has been added to the Metaconsole.

Secondary IP macros in network components and plugin
From now on, through the _address_n_ macro you may use any of the secondary (orsuccessive) IP’s of an agent in network modules or remote plugins.

Release Notes 759
December 2021

New features andimprovements

New alert action history report.
It complements the existing event or alert reports, offering the details of whataction (send email, SMS, log) for each alert launched on an agent/module. It isbased on events (which now save that information when an alert is fired).

Known changes and limitations
Modified the elimination of a Metaconsole node. Once the deletion warning
message has been accepted, a normal node license will have to be entered in
the node and all the replication options between node and Metaconsole will bedeactivated, where it will be necessary to re-centralize again if the node is to be
re-associated to the Metaconsole.
When a module is unlinked in a policy, which has a policy alert included, this alert
will also be unlinked from the policy to be able to make the modifications you want.

Fixed vulnerabilities
In this release, different entryways (CSRF, Clickjacking) to Pandora FMS code
through the web browser in the following views have been solved:
