"Pandora Free Monitoring System" is a free system for monitoring distributed systems.
Pandora is a free software suite licensed under GNU GPL that offers a visualization of the status and performance of various parameters across different operating systems, hardware/systems, servers, proxies, web servers, firewalls, routers, and databases. It combines open and distributed architecture, allowing deployment in every operating system with an agent for each platform.
Pandora is capable of monitoring hardware systems through TCP/IP stack, including switches, routers, printers, and load balancers. This software suite consists of six components, including Pandora Data Server, Pandora Network Server, Pandora SNMP Console, Pandora Agents, Pandora Database, and Pandora Web Management System (Web Console).
The Pandora Servers and SNMP Console serve as the recipients of collected information while functioning as the generators of alerts serving as the brain of Pandora's system. It could have several servers for large systems, but a single server will suffice for smaller systems. Perl development has built these servers, working under all necessary modules and platforms, not excluding even GNU/Linux.
Pandora Web Console serves as the user interface and management system for Pandora. It is developed in PHP and functions by leaning on both a data base and a web server. It is capable of operating on any platform, namely GNU/Linux, Solaris, Win2000, AIX, and others. There could be several Web Consoles for a single implementation.
Pandora Database is the core module of Pandora, evident in the architecture overview. It is the storage for all enterprise information, which includes data gathered by agents, configurations defined by administrators, events, incidents, audit info, among others. At present, MySQL is the only supported database, with plans to add support for more databases.
Pandora Agents can monitor boolean states, any numeric parameter, strings, or numerical incremental data/conditions. They are centralized based on lightweight design for shellscript, perl, and wsh agents to collect data. Furthermore, these agents support various platforms like AIX, Solaris, Microsoft, GNU/Linux, IPSO, FreeBSD and communicate using either SSH, FTP, NFS, or other reliable paths through XML containers for data transportation.
