Pandora FMS currently uses [[http://:en:documentation:01_understanding:03_glossary#agent|agents]] for every operating system on the market. It can, of course, be used successfully not only as a system monitoring tool, but as a monitoring tool for all sorts of network devices, whether it might use SNMP, TCP protocol probes, ICMP, UDP or [[http://:en:documentation:01_understanding:03_glossary#software_agent|software agents]].

Pandora FMS was born out of a personal development project of its [[http://pandorafms.com/en/pandora-fms-history/|original author, Sancho Lerena, in 2003]]. Originally it was 100% open source code but years later a version oriented towards big companies was needed: Pandora FMS Enterprise, capable of processing large volumes of information through its [[http://:en:documentation:06_metaconsole:01_introduction|Metaconsole]].

Pandora FMS was born from a personal development of its [[https://pandorafms.com/es/historia-de-pandora-fms/|original author, Sancho Lerena, in 2003]]. Initially it was 100% open source and over the years the need arose to offer a version oriented to large companies: **Pandora FMS Enterprise**, capable of processing large volumes of information through the [[:en:documentation:pandorafms:command_center :01_introduction|Command Center (Metaconsole)]].
* **Self-monitoring**: By default it allows detecting storage devices or databases (BB.DD.) in a BB.DD. server, among other things.
+
* **Auto discovery**: Remotely by network you can detect all its elements, catalog them according to operating system (O.S.) and monitor with an assigned profile.
+
* **Agents**: They can obtain information from the execution of a command to the lowest level call of the MS Windows® API: events, logs, memory consumption, CPU usage, etc. PFMS has a library of default checks for speed.
+
* **Control**: The agents themselves can start services, delete temporary files or run processes. It can be done from the Web Console, remotely executing tasks such as stopping or starting services, including periodic executions. Furthermore, Pandora FMS can be used to remotely access remote systems thanks to [[:en:documentation:09_pandora_rc:start|Pandora RC]] (Telnet, VNC or SSH).
+
* **Alert and notify**: As important as detecting a failure is notifying it. With Pandora FMS there are several ways and notification formats available.
+
* **View and analyze**: Although monitoring is receiving an SNMP trap or viewing an interrupted service, it is also presenting trend reports, summary graphs of data collected over months, generating user portals, delegating reports to third parties or define your own graphs and tables.
+
* **Inventory**: Contrary to other solutions, where the CMDB concept is the base, for Pandora FMS this is optional. Inventory is flexible and dynamic, can be self-discovered, checked remotely, and so on. You can also notify changes, such as uninstalled software on a computer, or use it to create listings.
* **自動検出(リモート)** リモートでネットワークを使って、稼働中のシステムや OS およびモニタリングできる設定などの関連情報を検出することができます。また、ネットワークトポロジーの検出および、ルーティングに基づくネットワーク図を作成することができます。

* **モニタリング** Pandora FMS のエージェントは最も強力です。基本的なコマンドの実行結果や Windows API から、イベント、ログ、数値データ、プロセスの状態、メモリやCPUの使用率などの情報を取得することができます。Pandora にはデフォルトでモニタリング用のライブラリがあります。しかし、Pandora の最大の利点は、新たなモニタリングを作成し追加できることにあります。

Regarding systems and applications, the best way to obtain information is definitely from the system by executing commands, or querying the system data sources from the machine to be monitored itself. Pandora FMS [[http://:en:documentation:01_understanding:03_glossary#software_agent|software agents]] is used to run a command or script, or for any queries on the system or application.
When talking about systems and applications, the best way to obtain information is directly about the system, executing commands or consulting the system's data sources from the machine itself to be monitored. To execute some kind of command, script or make some kind of query about the system or application, the [[:en:documentation:pandorafms:introduction:03_glossary#agente_software|Software Agent]] of Pandora FMS is used.

In addition to obtaining information through commands, software agents include other advanced fueatures like **obtaining inventory information**. Agents can also be configured to react in case of a problem or a failure, interacting automatically with the system, deleting a temporary file or executing a given command. When software agents have no direct connection to the designated Pandora FMS server, you may use [[http://:en:documentation:05_big_environments:05_satellite|PFMS Satellite Server]] or a broker agent.
Software Agents, in addition to their essential function of obtaining information through commands, include another series of advanced functions, **such as obtaining inventory information**. They can also be configured to act proactively in the event of a problem or failure, automatically interacting with the system, deleting a temporary file or executing a command. When a Software Agent cannot have direct contact with the designated Pandora FMS server, it may use a [[:en:documentation:pandorafms:complex_environments_and_optimization:05_satellite|Satellite Server PFMS]] or an agent broker.
