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.

Centreon upgrade

Hi,We are looking at upgrading our Centreon Solution at the moment, but we have run into some problems, so I am hoping someone can help. Firstly let me just say, I am not the most experienced with Linux or Centreon.So What we have is a Redhat Centreon Server, and we did have a Centos Remote Server, this obviously is now obsolete, so we used a script from Github to convert it to Oracle Linux, and this looks to have worked okay. The next bit we were looking at doing was to upgrade Centreon to 24.04, to this end we changed the repo to what we believe is the right one for 24.04baseurl=https://packages.centreon.com/rpm-standard/24.04/el8/stable/$basearch/The problem we are having when we run sudo yum update, it initially looks to go through okay, but then we get the following errors:--> Finished Dependency ResolutionError: Package: perl-FFI-CheckLib-0.31-1.el8.noarch (centreon-plugins-24.04-stab

How to obtain access point users without UNKNOWN status

The purpose of this topic is to share with you the solution to obtain the number of users connected on an access point, and the way to find it.The targetThe first and obvious solution was to use the Centreon plugin dedicated for this service : centreon_cisco_wlc.pl, with the ap-users mode. The syntax is like this :/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_cisco_wlc.pl --plugin=network::cisco::wlc::snmp::plugin --mode=ap-users --hostname=x.x.x.x --snmp-community='x' --snmp-version=2c --filter-group='' --warning-total='' --critical-total='' --snmp-autoreduce --snmp-timeout=30 --filter-counters='^ap' --filter-ap='apName'The important point is the IP to provide is Wireless Controller’s IP.The issueWhen there is only few access points (AP) associated to the wireless controller, the plugin works fine ; but when many access points are connected to the wireless controller (WLC), many UNKNOWN issues can appear. To understand the root cause of this behaviour, tcpdump and Wireshark are good tools to tr

Damned licence key!

Hi,I’ve been told licence key were now handled online and I would not have to ask for key anytime. What naive being I had have to beleive in this.In addition I’m quite sure licence was valid before I upgrade from 23.10.18 to 23.10.21.Can someone please look at what the funk could it be made to fix this issue? I can’t upgrade the plugin packs.The fingerprint of the regarded platform is 1c7055ac1152efd834c0f759079ec293c7bc413fef2ea7dc1f9d6b6207626003These licence key problematic is a funky plain in the grass!Cheers.
