Removing the ability to create services linked to multiple hosts or host groupsFeature Sunset

Dear users, In order to simplify and improve the user experience of our software, we plan to remove two features in an upcoming major update:Creating services linked to multiple hosts. Creating services by host group.We understand that these features may still be used by some of you, but we believe they can be replaced by the use of templates. We are making this decision to optimize the software and make it more intuitive. Proposal of solutions when updating the Centreon platform Services linked to multiple hostsCreating a service linked to multiple hosts allows you to have an identical configuration of this service for multiple hosts.This service can be transformed into a service template. A single service will be created for each linked host and will inherit the template you previously created.This update will be performed automatically during the Centreon platform update process (target: Centreon 25.10). Services by Host GroupCreating a service by host group allows for the same serv

VMWare 8 connector : First stone

Hello everyone, As part of our project to update our dedicated VMware connectors, we are deploying the foundation of the VMware 8 ESX monitoring connector via REST API this month. This connector is a lightweight version, as it only includes CPU, memory, power and host discovery modes. We have already planned to enhance this connector in the coming months with new modes. It is marked as experimental because, at this stage, we still need to verify its functionality with numerous metrics (as may be the case in certain production environments). Feel free to share your feedback on this and more generally on this connector here. We will keep you informed of progress on this subject.

BBDO2 Deprecation with Centreon 25.10 ReleaseFeature Sunset

 We wish to inform all users that BBDO2 will be officially deprecated with the 25.10 release of Centreon. This change is part of our ongoing effort to enhance the platform’s performance, security, and compatibility with modern infrastructure requirements. What is BBDO? BBDO, for Binary Broker for Data Operations, is a core protocol for exchanging monitoring data between a Centreon central server and pollers/remote servers.  Why is BBDO2 Being Deprecated? With Broker 22.04.0, we have introduced a new version of BBDO based on Google Protobuf 3.The new protocol remains compatible with the previous one, but introduces new events.There are several key reasons for the depreciation of BBDO2:Performance improvements Flexibility: easier maintenance and enhancements To enable Broker-managed configuration & differential configuration export, which are using Protobuf messages (reduced network footprint for configuration updates).What This Means for You For most of our customers, BBDO3 is aread

About Linux SNMP version 3

Dear Watchers,It had been asked for a while, we released it last December: a SNMP version 3 template is provided for Linux in our Monitoring Connectors. The documentation can be found there.I invite you to tell us here as a reply to this post, if you have feedback to give us about it.Does it fit your needs? Is it easy enough to use? Is the documentation clear?Any feedback will be great!Once we judge that the template is satisfying enough given your feedback, we’ll merge it into the Linux SNMP monitoring connector and apply the same method with other connectors.

Legacy MAP Retirement [Updated 09/30/24]

[Update 09/30/24] This update confirms that MAP Legacy will be retired with 24.10 This is an announcement that Centreon will retire Centreon MAP Legacy starting next version 24.10. The diagramming and mapping functionality referred to as Centreon MAP is currently shipped in two flavors:MAP Legacy which relies on a client application running on a desktop to create/edit maps MAP Web, a web client fully embedded into the Centreon user interfaceThe following only relates to Centreon on-premise installations as Centreon Cloud already runs MAP Web. Given the change in technology and the migration necessary to move from MAP Legacy to MAP Web, Centreon has been continuing full support of MAP Legacy until now.With hundreds of production platforms now running MAP Web, we believe it is time to consider deprecating MAP Legacy. Centreon will end support of MAP Legacy with the next major version of Centreon: 24.10.MAP Legacy will continue being shipped and supported on 23.04, 23.10 and 24.04 accordi

SNClient+ : short review

Hello,I tried SNclient+ and I will share what I found with this short review.My thirst thought is that SNClient+ is mainly for Windows host.s Why ? Because I failed to installed it from Debian 5 to Debian 11 included. The Debian packages are broken on all theses releases, you can’t install it, it will throw an error.The answer from the team was if it’s not working you can try to recompile it from sources.It more sunny on the RedHat side because the RPM is valid (and tested) on RedHat 7 and 9 (I didn't test it on RH8).Also, only a unit for Systemd is included, no Init script.On the Windows side, it’s unclear on which version we could run it.I successfully run it on Windows 2019 but the SNClient+ team don’t give a list of supported OS :https://github.com/ConSol-Monitoring/snclient/issues/48 I tried some check with «check_nrpe» as I’m used to with NSClient++.Some are identical, like theses :$ /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 10.128.10.7 -c check_drivesize -a Drive=C: ShowAll MinWar

Does MQTT mean something to you? And Mosquitto?

Hello everyone,We started working on MQTT and more specifically Mosquitto with the aim of making a new monitoring connector for it. We already have some ideas but we would like to know if any of you are already using Mosquitto and if so for what purpose do you use it? But also your wishes regarding the monitoring of it.

What Monitoring Connectors need a SNMP version 3 template?

Dear Watchers,As I said here, we experimented a new SNMP version 3 template for Linux.We are planning to add similar SNMP version 3 templates to other monitoring connectors to make it easier to use SNMP v3 (I agree it's not ideal to use the $_SERVICEEXTRAOPTION$ macro for that) in more contexts.What I'm proposing you here is to answer to my post by giving:The name of the monitoring connector or the host template you'd like to see support SNMP v3 macros. The desired security levels (noAuthNoPriv, authNoPriv, authPriv).Then we'll prioritize the posts that will receive the highest number of "thumbs up" to deliver new templates in the monitoring connectors.Can’t wait for your suggestions!PS: If what you want is a template that do not exist yet as a monitoring connector, then please use the ideas section!PPS: Please post only one suggestion per post 🙏🏻

[UPDATED] Deprecated views will be retired [in an upcoming] major versionProduct updates

[UPDATE AS OF 02/12/2024]As we are progressing towards next major release and still receiving feedback for required features in Resource Status we have decided to take a step back and NOT retire deprecated views in the Spring 24 version.We are planning the Fall version and will prioritize those enhancements in order to be in a position to then retire those views.Stay tuned and continue sending your valuable feedback![END OF UPDATE] It had been announced a long time ago that the plan was to remove the legacy host and services views as those are now replaced with Resource Status. This was visible both in the documentation as well as in the product.    Up until now, those views have still been shipped and it has been possible to enable them through Administration menus.We’ve gathered feedback from those of you who still use them as you find that Resource Status breaks your usual workflows or does not fit with your user’s skills. Even though Centreon 23.10 isn't available just yet (coming

Does anyone know how to create a graph (like the graph for the CPU, for example) for a service that is not native to Centreon?

Hello everyone,As the title says, I'd like to create a graphic for a service I've set up. I've created a service to find out the number of users connected to my RDS farm and I'd like to have a graph to see the evolution of connected users over time. A simple dot plot, say every 30 minutes.What I mean by a graph is like CPU, memory etc… : Do you know if this is possible or not?Thanks by advance.

Problem plugin vmware

Hi I have had a problem with centreon updates for some time. My version is 24.10.8. The problem is in the vmware infrastructure monitoring plugin. Previously (based on the centreon_vmware.pm file) everything worked fine. After updates (from several versions within 24.10) the centreon_vmware service does not want to start. When I change the option to old in the /etc/default/centreon_vmware file and restore the centreon_vmware.pm file, everything returns to normal.Here is the configuration and logs after updates (the last one to 24.10.8), which do not work well.My instance: Centreon 24.10.8, Debian 12. $ ls -lrazem 44-rw-rw---- 1 www-data www-data 1287 2018-10-17 centreon.conf.php-rw-r----- 1 centreon centreon 390 06-24 08:25 centreontrapd.pm-rw-rw-r-- 1 centreon centreon 390 2024-05-16 centreontrapd.pm.dpkg-dist-rw-rw---- 1 centreon-gorgone centreon 626 06-24 08:24 centreon_vmware.json-rw-r--r-- 1 centreon centreon 812 03-28 09:37 centreon_vmware.pm

HTTP Collection : parse headers values

Hi, Here’s the matter : to get metrics from an API one has first to request the “login” endpoint, providing user and password, to get back an authentication token (with a limite time validity). BUT this token is provided in the header “Authorization”, not in the json body of the response, and I didn’t manage to get it.Is there a way to extract values of the header ?Thx.

SSO et API Rest

Je teste actuellement une intégration avec Centreon via l’API REST (en utilisant les endpoints natifs de Centreon).Je voudrais savoir s’il est possible d’utiliser cette API tout en bénéficiant du SSO (LDAP) déjà en place.Je n’ai pas accès à une plateforme de test avec le SSO activé, mais chez l’utilisateur final, l’authentification SSO via LDAP fonctionne sur l’interface web de Centreon.Ma question est donc la suivante :Est-il possible d’utiliser le SSO (basé sur LDAP) pour récupérer le token nécessaire aux appels API ?Et si oui, y a-t-il une documentation précisant les en-têtes ou paramètres spécifiques à fournir (par exemple en complément du UseDefaultCredentials = true dans le handler) ?Merci d’avance pour vos retours !
