BBDO2 Deprecation with Centreon 25.10 ReleaseBBDO2

 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

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.

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

Important change on 21.10 package repository

As you probably already know, Centreon 21.10 is not a supported version anymore (more information here).As a consequence, the RPM package repository for this version has been archived: it moved from https://packages.centreon.com/rpm-standard/21.10 to https://archives.centreon.com/standard/21.10.If your platform is still running 21.10 and you need to update it, please update your YUM or DNF repository configuration to handle this change.

Best strategy to deploy standard commands and templates to a centreon

I have multiple Centreon instances and wanted to provide a standard configuration to my instances.Currently i am making use of the CLAPI v1 and was considering using the API REST as it seem to be the target now, but as what i want to deploy is provided as a rolling release, i’m wondering if there is a better way to provide commands and templates in a standard way in “readonly” mode and to update them as i roll updates.I wish to deploy that as i deploy configuration files through rpm packages, my hope is that there is some kind of config.d folder that i could make use of to deploy my files so they are added to the available commands and services. Anyone making this kind of updates ?

CPU/ Load charge/ Disk by using SSH

Hi there!I am currently downloading Centreon's open-source version 24.10.I'm struggling and I don't know why.I followed the Centreon documentation: https://docs.centreon.com/fr/pp/integrations/plugin-packs/procedures/operatingsystems-linux-ssh/The problem is that I can’t find the service "OS-Linux-Cpu-SSH-custom" in my Centreon interface.My plugins are updated, so do I need to create this service manually?I created a check command that I use in the host setup, which is:--plugin=os::linux::local::plugin --mode=cpu --hostname=$HOSTADDRESS$ --ssh-option='-l <user>' --warning=70 --critical=90When i restart my poller, no error is return.Can someone help me or redirect me to a blog or tutorial that I can follow?Sorry if I'm not very clear — I'm trying to understand how SSH-Remote monitoring works in Centreon.

How to manage access by membership in Active Directory Groups?

Currently we have a working LDAP connection to our AD but we import users manually and remove them manually when access should be stopped.This is a certain administration effort, the only advantage is that users can user their AD credentials to authenticate.  Target is to manage user access to Centreon only in AD, e.g.,all members of the AD group Group_A should be member of a certain Centreon contact group, e.g. “Admin” all members of the D group Group_B should be member of a certain Centreon contact group, e.g. “ReadUsers” …When a user has been removed from the corresponding AD group access to Centreon should be removed automatically.Long story short: Centreon access rights should be managed fully in AD without need to manage users in Centreon. Is this possible? Official documentation is not very helpful (https://docs.centreon.com/docs/administration/parameters/ldap/).For me this seems to be the standard how authorization should work. I searched in TheWatch as well but I did not found

Today, we have probes for CPU, Swap and Memory and I'd like to be able to add a duration before considering the alert, whether it's warning or critical.A CPU consumption of over 90% for 3 minutes doesn't require the same analysis as a consumption of over 90% for 1 hour.That's why I'd like to add this waiting time before triggering the alert
