We are very pleased to announce the new Service Pack 1 for version 5.1 of Pandora FMS, with many new features and numerous bug fixes compared to the last release that we launched last June. You can find out everything below:

*Improved planning of scheduled stops, and their exclusion in all reports of SLA. Now, the reports show those periods that have been excluded due to a scheduled stop. The system administrator can decide if it's possible to set scheduled stops after the event or not. You can download the scheduled tasks on a CSV.

*New multithreaded SNMP traps server.

*New Packet loss remote plugin that measures the packet loss in a network. This plugin is now included by default in Pandora FMS.

*New features added to the IPAM module (IP address management): IP's reservation, massive operations and delegation of network management to users non administrators of Pandora FMS.

*Unix agent now supports UDP mode for remote command execution.

*Now it’s possible to visualize traffic graphics per interface (combined) from the main agent view:

* Non-init modules will not be deleted anymore by default. There is an option of the setup that controls this behaviour.

*Improved the verbosity of Pandora FMS, introducing by default the server level 3 and showing some critical problems as events.

*Improved the server log rotation, with a new parameter to specify number of rotated log to be stored in disk prior deletion.

*Added dynamic macros for agent custom fields.

*Optional translation of OID's for better performance in the SNMP traps processor.

*New contextual help system and "step by step" Wizard, that we hope will help less experienced users to take advantage of the best options of Pandora FMS.

*Rewamped code for TCP checks, improving performance and speed.

*Unix Agent log parser now supports log rotation detection by inode.

*From this version, Unix agent supports global macros.

*Fixed some pending issues in the http/Goliat server, increasing performance and speed.

*Improved usability of the Pandora FMS menus: creating an "anchor" mode and allowing the scroll of the contents without having to scroll down to the bottom of the page.

*Improvements in the services: Added new "simple" mode that allows to create services without taking into account the weights, and considering only two types of elements: critical and non critical.

*API & CLI new functions (add event comment, recreate collections and others).

*New dynamic radial network maps.

*New IP SLA Cisco plugin to measurig quality of service in networks of latest technology. Specially recommended for VoIP services or services sensitives to package loss and high latency.

*Audit information can now be exported to Excel or PDF.

*New statistics system of traps received which is very useful to filter by source IP or OID.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
