# pandora\_agent(1)

Pandora FMS software agent

## NAME

pandora\_agent - Pandora FMS software agent

## SYNOPSIS

**/usr/bin/pandora\_agent** \<configuration\_file\>

**/etc/init.d/pandora\_agent\_daemon** \[ **stop** \| **start** \| **restart** \]

## DESCRIPTION

**Pandora FMS Agent** is a perl-based application, which collects information about local system, running commands and gathering its output to create a XML data file, sent to Pandora FMS server.

It uses /etc/pandora/pandora\_agent.conf to define what information is gathered and how to get it, running local commands. It uses a startup script on /etc/init.d/pandora\_agent\_daemon to control the status of the agent service.

Pandora FMS agent uses tentacle\_client to transfer information, but can also transmit that information using a local filesystem copy (NFS, SMB, local), SSH or FTP.
