Centreon Infra Monitoring MCP Server: Interact with Your Infrastructure Using Natural LanguageCentreon Infra Monitoring

We are excited to introduce the CIM MCP Server, an open-source project that brings the power of AI assistants directly to your Centreon Infra Monitoring (CIM) platform.Available on GitHub, this integration opens a new way to interact with your monitoring data — using plain, natural language.What Is MCP?Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI assistants — such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Mistral Le Chat — to connect to external tools and services in a structured, secure way. By exposing capabilities through an MCP server, any compatible AI assistant can discover and invoke those capabilities on your behalf, turning your conversational prompts into real actions on your infrastructure.Centreon MCP Server in a NutshellThe CIM MCP Server acts as a bridge between your favorite AI assistant and your CIM instance. It is built i

Vulnerability Management: What if Centreon could track your CVEs in real-time?

Hello Watchers!At Centreon, we are constantly exploring new ways to make your IT operations smoother and more insightful. Today, we’re looking into a strategic topic and we’d love to get your thoughts: The convergence of Monitoring and Cybersecurity.Since Centreon already monitors your assets (OS, web servers, databases, networking gear) and often knows their versions, we are considering an integration that crosses this data with real-time CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) databases.The vision: A new security bulletin is released, and Centreon immediately flags the 15 servers in your infrastructure that are at risk—without you needing to trigger a manual scan.Before we dive deeper into this feature, we want to hear about your current reality:How do you manage vulnerabilities today? Do you use dedicated tools or is it a more manual process?

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 Flexibilit

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 mo

Business Activity : Modification des indicateurs et plage horaire

Bonjour,J’ai une question par rapport à l’Activité métiers (Business Activity). Récemment, on m’a demandé de créer des activités métiers pour mes serveurs, mes applications hébergées. Cependant, je l’ai créé que depuis la semaine dernière. Cependant, les applications et les serveurs existaient depuis pas mal d’année. Par contre, quand je génère un rapport pour mon activité métier, il n’affiche que les valeurs à partir de la création de l’activité métier pour mes serveurs et mes applications. Est-ce normal? Comment je peux faire pour que ce rapport prend toute l’historique de mes serveurs et de mes applications? Ou ce n’est pas du tout possible?Aussi, j’avais déjà quelques activités métiers en place depuis pas mal d’année. Et j’ai modifié les plages d’horaire de rapport de 24x7 en heures ouvrées de 8h à 20h et aussi supprimer quelques indicateurs non utiles à mes rapports. Est-ce que j’aurai une réécriture de mes historique d’activités métiers dans ce cas là, ou bien c’

how to registered the poller to the server

Here is the English translation of your text:---I have installed Centreon version 25.10.9 on a Red Hat 8 operating system. I am using the open-source edition. The server IP is 192.168.1.100. I added a poller with the IP 192.168.1.101. This poller encountered a failure, so I completely reinstalled it on a virtual machine, keeping the IP address the same as 192.168.1.101. The OS is still Red Hat 8. I successfully registered the poller to the server, but when I check the web interface under Configuration > Pollers, it shows that this poller is not running.The poller's log file at /var/log/centreon-gorgone/gorgoned.log contains the following errors:```2026-04-26 21:04:39 - ERROR - [core] unknown identity: proxy-1-2-bdaf280f86b038d7ec34c7862026-04-26 21:04:39 - ERROR - [core] unknown identity: obGRGh1cHuwvZPYCNdVpwH1UrOVxYCUbbSSp4CF2oxc=2026-04-26 21:04:39 - ERROR - [core] unknown identity: proxy-1-2-bdaf280f86b038d7ec34c7862026-04-2

Services status unknown after update?

Hi,I recently updated to version 24.10.15 from 24.10.14I also updated some third party plugins at the same time.Since that update I have had the problem that occassionally the services running the plugins (Dell iDRAC among others) are timed out after a while. Could be every other hour or after a day or two.All services using those plugins are moved to “Unknown” with information “(Process Timeout)”Restarting the poller in the GUI solves the problem but why is this happening and any solution?Running the same plugin in the CLI works without any problems so it seems to be a poller issue. OK: All 2 components are ok [2/2 psus]. | 'PSU1#hardware.powersupply.power.watt'=200W;;;0; 'PSU2#hardware.powersupply.power.watt'=180W;;;0; 'hardware.psu.count'=2;;;;Checking poer suppliespower supply 'PSU1' status is 'ok' [instance: 1.1] [value: 200]power supply 'PSU2' status is 'ok' [instance: 1.2] [value: 180]
