Artica announced 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 launched last June.
Changes include:
- 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.

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

- 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.
