Centreon Infra Monitoring

Major Evolutions for Centreon Infra Monitoring 26.10 LTS: Heading Towards Next-Generation OSCIentreon 26.10

The upcoming major release of Centreon Infra Monitoring (CIM) 26.10 LTS will mark a key milestone in the modernization of our software architecture. To ensure optimal performance, enhanced security, and long-term stability, this new version will extend its compatibility to next-generation operating systems. Users will be able to deploy CIM 26.10 on Enterprise Linux distributions (RHEL, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux) versions 9 and 10, as well as the upcoming Debian 13 major release. However, this technological transition requires strategic choices to maintain our quality standards. Consequently, official support for Debian 12 and Enterprise Linux 8 (EL8) will be discontinued with this release. These older operating systems no longer align with the 3-year lifecycle inherent to our Long Term Support (LTS) versions. We invite our users to start planning their infrastructure upgrades to the targeted platforms now, ensuring a smooth transition and full enjoyment of the innovation

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?

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.

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.

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

Connector for monitoring the expiry of an Azure Enterprise Application SAML certificate

Background:This is not an App Registration. The requirement relates to an Enterprise Application configured with Single Sign-On (SSO) using SAML. This SAML SSO uses a signing certificate with an expiry date. We would like to track this expiry date in Centreon so that we can plan for renewal and avoid any service disruption.Questions:Is there a plugin pack, connector, or Centreon monitoring method that allows us to retrieve the expiry date of this certificate? If this is not supported natively, is there a method recommended by Centreon for monitoring it, for example via Microsoft Graph, an API, or a custom script? If specific development is required, could you confirm the most suitable approach for integrating this properly into Centreon?We would also be

Macro entry with dollar sign issue (from 25.10.12)

Hi,Due to the end of support of the release 24.04, I have recently upgraded my Centreon plateform to release 25.10 (I have two separate deployments).But I found an issue on one of my deployments.I’m using regex patterns within my “Custom Macro entries”, and I realized that the “$” sign is not passed anymore to the check command.For example, custom entry configured “xe-0/0/1$” becomes “xe-0/0/1” when it is passed to the check command.I have also realized that this issue appears with the release “25.10.12” and not present in “25.10.11”.Any idea ? I didn’t find the release note of “25.10.12” that could explain a change of behavior how custom macro entries are now handled.ThanksDavid

Automatique poller configuration

Hello,I want to fully automate the installation and registration of a poller on the central with Ansible.For RPMs or even transcribing the 'registerServerTopology.sh' script, this is no problem.I even managed to generate via a playbook the 'gorgon' configuration of the poller.On the other hand I cannot manage to transcribe the 'poller wizard' module of the interface. I noticed this was using an internal REST API, but I can't find any info on the subject.The objective of this playbook is to install, configure, and declare the poller without administrator intervention (among other things, restarting the gorgon service on the central and the poller)Thank you for your helpPhilippe
