       of performing the existing checks. They verify them and change their
       status depending on the results. They are also in charge of triggering
       the alerts established to control the status of data.

       There are ten different, specialised servers in Pandora FMS 3.x, in
       change of the previously mentioned tasks. All ten servers are
       integrated in one single application, generically named "Pandora
       Server" that is a multithread (multiprocess) application which executes
       in sepparated subprocesses (threads) each of the instances or Pandora
       FMS's specialised servers.

       -   Network Server
       -   SNMP Server

       mail, or triggering the execution of a script.
