Install Pandora FMS monitoring in Fedora14 | Console, Server and Agent
Pandora FMS (for Pandora Flexible Monitoring System) is software solution for monitoring computer networks. Pandora FMS allows monitoring in a visual way the status and performance of several parameters from different operating systems, servers, applications and hardware systems such as firewalls, proxies, databases, web servers or routers.
Pandora FMS can be deployed in almost any operating system. It features remote monitoring (WMI, SNMP, TCP. UDP, ICMP, HTTP…) and it can also use agents. An agent is available for each platform. It can also monitor hardware systems with a TCP/IP stack, such as load balancers, routers, network switches, printers or firewalls.
Pandora FMS has several servers that process and get information from different sources, using WMI for gathering remote Windows information, a predictive server, a plug-in server which makes complex user-defined network tests, an advanced export server to replicate data between different sites of Pandora FMS, a network discovery server, and an SNMP Trap console.
Install the Consol
Before to start we need to Install LAMP for Fedora14 by following instructions in this post.
After LAMP is installed we can start installing the Consol
1- Download the Pandora_console tarbal, extract it and copy it to /var/www/html/
[root@unixmen-Fedora14 html]# cp -r /home/pirat9/Downloads/pandora_console/ .
[root@unixmen-Fedora14 html]# pwd
/var/www/html
[root@unixmen-Fedora14 html]# ls -ltr
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Mar 2 13:57 pandora_console
[root@unixmen-Fedora14 html]#
You need to setup permissions to be able to write in ./include and ./attachment directory
Under root :
chmod -R 777 include/ and chmod -R 777 attachment
Now open the browser http://ip/pandora_console
Click next and check every time if something gone wrong
Check if all dependencies are installed in your system, if everything is green (See screenshot bellow) then is ok, click next
Insert database admin user and password and the database that you want to create
New database will be created and a new password will be generated for a later use in pandora server configuration, write it down and continue
After this back to your shell , move of remove install.php file and open http://ip/pandora_console and login with user admin and password pandora
Install the server
1-First : install dependencies
yum install perl-XML-SAX* perl-Tie* perl-XML-Simple* perl-IO-Socket* perl-Time-modules* perl-NetAddr-IP* perl-DateTime* perl-ExtUtils perl-DBI nmap
2-Configure pandora_server.conf
Add password and database name generated from installation of Pandora_console to /etc/pandora/pandora_server.conf
[root@unixmen-Fedora14 pandora_server]# ./pandora_server_installer --install

After setting password you can start your Pandora FMS Server!!

Did you add the IP range(Not ip address) in your cacti.conf file? If yes, check your apache log files. You may find the errors. Good luck.

I have been searching for a solution to that problem too but with videos. I can’t see anyway to make VLC do this. And nobody can tell me how.
However, I did find a media player called Movist that does it. I will never understand why VLC, the best in my opinion, does not design this feature into their player.

it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,
it is using strong encryption.
but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI
And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.
