API Call Optimization
In this 737 release, API calls are important once more. The call for the node has now a new option: toadd or delete an agent on a policy via API in the Metaconsole.

Business Event Group Report
The possibility of creating new event group reports has been incorporated, in order for you to enterand select their types, as it had been done in the event report agent.

Disable alerts with events in process
From this release on, the flow of alerts can be stopped when the state of the event changes to“in process”. If the event does not change state, which will have to be modified manually, it will follow
the normal operation of the alerts.

Other improvements* General Policy Search
The possibility of locating policies inside the Pandora FMS search bar has been added, both in thenode and in the Metaconsole.

* Improved authentication using the SAML method
Pandora FMS authentication has been improved using the SAML method. Users will be able tochoose which SAML attribute corresponds to each Pandora FMS user parameter.

July 2019* Visual improvements in Pandora FMS console
As in previous releases, the visual improvement of Pandora FMS console is being worked on. Thistime, several views have been modified, as well as the adding the submenu of the Discovery section.
Additionally, certain buttons have been modified to suit the new style of the interface.

Troubleshooting* An error has been fixed by which, at the time of deploying the groups within the agent edition view,the groups came out out of order.
* Fixed error by which, if “autorefresh” was activated in the event view, the filter was not saved,
showing the default one.
* Fixed error by which, if an agent was enabled by CLI/API it could be modified in console but not in
the agent configuration, so it gave a false positive.
* Fixed problem that showed erroneous information in some of the macros used in reports.
* Fixed visual errors such as loading the graphs at the bottom of the tactical view.
* New adjustments and improvements in the SNMP Interface Wizard for the operation with
exec_server and the option to choose common and uncommon modules.
* Fixed malfunction of the critical event audible alerts.
* Fixed problem that made it impossible to see the names of the agents when downloading
Metaconsole reports.
* Fixed problem of filling fields on a module of the SNMP type of v3 where, when making a SNMPWalk
out of it, the fields were not self-filling with the module data.
* Fixed error of Metaconsole collections where, if a collection was deleted with centralized mode
activated, it was not deleted in the nodes. Additionally, a bug has been fixed, where the agents within
the node policy in the Metaconsole with centralized mode were not deleted.
