I noticed that update 24.04 emptied the /etc/centreon/conf.pm file while it is still being used by several tasks. For example:

/etc/default/centreontrapd:OPTIONS="--logfile=/var/log/centreon/centreontrapd.log --severity=error --config=/etc/centreon/conf.pm  --config-extra=/etc/centreon/centreontrapd.pm"
/etc/cron.d/centreon:0 3 * * * centreon /usr/share/centreon/cron/eventReportBuilder --config=/etc/centreon/conf.pm >> /var/log/centreon/eventReportBuilder.log 2>&1
/etc/cron.d/centreon:0 6 * * * centreon /usr/share/centreon/cron/dashboardBuilder --config=/etc/centreon/conf.pm >> /var/log/centreon/dashboardBuilder.log 2>&1

Is this a bug ? Or crons and centreontrapd should use another conf files now ?

Hello @Nyxtorm 

You’re right it’s a bug but it’s already fixed in 24.04.1:

https://docs.centreon.com/docs/releases/centreon-os/#24041

If you already have the bug (conf.pm and centreontrapd.pm empty), updating your platform to 24.04.1 will not fill them. The fix is only for new upgrade from version < 24.04.

With the version 24.04.0 the files are replaced by default files but the original ones (with your configuration) are saved in a .rpmsave:

  • conf.pm.rpmsave
  • centreontrapd.pm.rpmsave

You can copy them to retrieve your configuration:

cp /etc/centreon/conf.pm.rpmsave /etc/centreon/conf.pm
cp /etc/centreon/centreontrapd.pm.rpmsave /etc/centreon/centreontrapd.pm

    Hi @Laurent @sduret,

    Thank you for your answers.

    Unfortunately, there are no *.rpmsave files on the Debian installation.

    I retrieved the file from a backup for my Central, but I don't have a copy for my second poller, which is a fresh install.

    In addition, my file contains values to files that don't exist or no longer exist, for example:

    # Centreon Centcore Command File
    $cmdFile = "/var/lib/centreon/centcore.cmd";

    Is there a clean template for the latest version of Centreon 24.04.1, or is there a way to regenerate the /etc/centreon/conf.pm file?

    Thanks for your help.

    @Nyxtorm 

    I check it and I have an empty conf.pm file on all my pollers, it’s normal for a fresh install.

    You normally don’t need to edit it.
