Pandora FMS NG 779 RRR 新功能概覽

Pandora FMS NG 779 RRR 新功能概覽
這是一個小更新的版本,帶來了一些新功能。目前穩定性最高的最新版本為 Pandora FMS 777 Andrómeda LTS(長期支援版本)。
LTS 版本每年發布一次,而常規版本(RRR)約每兩個月更新一次。您可以前往我們的網站了解更多有關版本和更新系統的詳細資訊。

新功能與改進

1. 漏洞監控的強化
針對 MS Windows® 代理新增了全新的清單模組,並改進了現有模組,可以監控已安裝的軟件和系統修補程式。此改進大幅拓展了漏洞數據庫,並同時增強對 Windows 和 Linux 系統的可見性與管理能力。

2. 新增報表項目:事件列表
全新報表元素「事件列表」已加入,使用者可像傳統事件視圖一樣篩選和查看事件。未來版本中,此功能將逐步取代現有的事件報表元素。

3. 新增審核資訊小工具
儀表板新增了審核資訊小工具,可顯示當前使用者的詳細資訊,進一步提升系統操作的透明度與可追溯性。

4. 更多更新

Pandora FMS 779 除了推出全新功能外,還優化平台性能與自訂功能的技術改進。SAML 認證已升級,確保與 Azure 和 simpleSAML 2 的兼容性,同時增強安全性並提升企業環境中的整合效率。

另一個重大改進是支援為事件配置通用指令,即使沒有特定的狀態變更指令,也能加速事件回應。Windows® 的 IPAM 外掛現在支援更新例如「已佔用」和「可用」等數據,並可在 Satellite 伺服器上執行 IPAM 任務,進一步提高分佈式環境的操作靈活性。

為了加強系統安全,Satellite 伺服器新增了憑證存儲功能,支援 SSH、WMI 和 SNMPv3,並在配置檔中提供了加密選項。MongoDB® 的 Discovery 外掛新增了支援自訂 SQL 查詢的功能,用戶可據此創建專屬的監控模組,為資料庫管理提供了更大的靈活性。

在代理自動配置方面,Pandora FMS 779 引入了策略優先級功能,優先執行高優先級策略以提升效能。此外,新增的“agentalias”與“agentname”可作為網絡模組中的 IP 目標。現在可以透過「子類型」欄位過濾 SNMP 陷阱警報。在日誌收集中,Web 控制台加入了全新的 OpenSearch® 配置選項,可針對不同環境進行精確調整。

 

SAML Authentication Enhancements

Updated and improved authentication in Pandora FMS console using SAML, ensuring compatibility with SAML environments in Azure and with simpleSAML 2.

New General Event Instructions

Just like the instructions for changing the state of events, it is now possible to configure general default instructions that will be displayed when the instructions for changing the state are missing or should not be displayed.

IPAM Plugin Improvements

The IPAM Discovery MS Windows® Agent Plugin has new enhancements that allow you to update all the “Occupied”, “Available”, “Managed” and “Unmanaged” data that was previously only possible to update from Pandora FMS server.

IPAM Tasks from Satellite Servers

It is now possible to configure IPAM tasks in Pandora FMS console so that they can be run from a Satellite server with remote configuration enabled.

Credential Store Improvement in Satellite servers

Pandora FMS Satellite Servers now have the credential store for SSH, WMI and SNMPv3 modules. These credentials can also be encrypted in the configuration files used by Satellites to ensure their privacy.

Improvement in Discovery Plugin: MongoDB®

Included the ability to launch custom SQL queries to generate monitoring modules in the Discovery MongoDB plugin.

Policy Enforcement Priority in Autoconfiguration

To improve performance in monitoring policy enforcement, it is now possible to prioritize agent autoconfiguration rules, so that policies with higher priority are applied before the rest.

New macros for network modules

It is now possible to use “_agentalias_” and “_agentname_” macros as the target IP address in network modules.

Improved SNMP Trap Alerts

SNMP trap alerts can be configured to filter their triggers by the “Subtype” field.

Improved Alert Recovery

Included an option in alert recovery to be performed only upon the change of status to “normal” of a module. This option is configurable on each alert template.

Configuration Options for Collecting Logs

OpenSearch® setup in Pandora FMS Web Console for collecting logs now has more options that allow you to adjust some OpenSearch® configuration parameters for each environment.
