Pandora - Distributed Multirole Monitoring System
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
DETAILS
Pandora is a tool that allows to analyze in a visual way status and
performance of several parameters from different Operating Systems,
servers, applications and hardware systems as Firewalls, Proxies, Data
Bases, Web Servers, Routers All integrated to an open and distributed
architecture.
Pandora can be deployed in every Operating System. You have an agent for
every platform. Pandora can also monitor hardware systems with TCP/IP
Stack, like load balancers, routers, switches, printers and so on.
Pandora contains four components: Pandora Server, Pandora Agents, Pandora
Database and Pandora Web Management System (Web Console).
Pandora Server:
The server is the recipient of bundles of information and the generator of
alerts; it's the brain of the system. We can have several servers for very
big systems or a single server. It's developed in Perl and works under any
platform, with the required modules. Nevertheless its "official" platform
is Linux. It also inserts the gathered data into the Database. You can
have several Pandora Servers connected with the same Database.
Pandora Web Console:
The Web Console allows the user to manage the system and to operate with
it. We can have several Web Consoles in the same implantation. It is
developed in PHP and leans on a Data Base and a Web Server, being able to
work in any platform: Linux, Solaris, Win2000, AIX, etc.
Pandora Database:
Core module of Pandora. In this database resides all the information of
the enterprise, for example, all data gathered by agents, all
configuration defined by administrator, all events, incidents, audit
info... At this moment, only MySQL DataBase is supported. More Databases
in the future.
Pandora Agents:
The agents can monitor any numeric parameter, boolean states, strings or
numerical incremental data and/or condition. It has a centralized
architecture based on lightweight design for agents (shellscript, wsh,
perl) and light agents to collect data. It supports all type of platforms
(Microsoft, AIX, Solaris, Linux, IPSO, FreeBSD, etc) because its agents
are completely open-source and they communicate using SSH, FTP, NFS etc.
using an XML container to transport data.
