New features in Pandora FMS 3.0 Opensource

Pandora FMS Opensource has the following new features:
Higher escalation

Pandora FMS 3.0 is thought to monitor up to 100.000 modules with each server. This is possible thank to the new modules without historic data and due to the fact that the engine has been totally re-written.
Windows Agent Features

The 3.0 agent has lot of new features:

* It can run automatic actions when it detects a service or a process has crashed (watchdog mode).
* It listen in a specific port therefore it can receive remote commands from Pandora FMS web console.
* Native WMI queries locally in the agent.
* Performance Counter queries locally in agent.
* It is able to send data to another Pandora FMS server if it detects the main server is not available.
* New log parser admitting regular expressions.
* The Event Log parser has been rewritten, it works faster now.
* The data gathering project has been improved to handle much better the basic modules (hard disk, cpu and memory), now it can show percent data as soon as absolute HD and memory values.
* Packages buffer. If the main server where the agent has to send the data to is unavailable, it will "save" the packages and as soon as it becomes available send them back.
* TCP (local or remote) ports check
* Optional "on start" pause, to give some time to all the process and services to boot in case of a system reboot or crash.

Alerts

Alerts and correlation interface has been re-designed, now it is based in a templated-engine which gives the possibility to create and re-use the alerts in all the agents. The correlation engine has been re-written as well and it is now more flexible and easier to create correlation rules.
