Pandora FMS Enterprise has a solution to manage hundreds of megabytes of data per day. This solution allows you to reuse the same monitoring agents to collect log data by using a similar syntax to the current monitoring logs. The logs collected by the agents (eventlog or text files) are literally stored (RAW) in the disk of the Pandora FMS server. With these data, you can perform researches on thousands of lines of logs of our systems.
7. Netflow
This technology is used to analyze in real-time large networks traffic. It helps you find problems, misuses and create capacity plans by using data from the backbone routers. With Pandora FMS, you can make real-time queries and see reports by IP, protocol, traffic, etc.
8. Service Trees
The Business Plan Monitoring (BPM) has a visual system to built service trees. Thus, you can draw the hierarchy and content of the services and their dependencies.
