hello

be sure to follow the instruction from here

Unattended installation of a central server | Centreon Documentation

and then follow the quick start guide Getting started with Centreon OnPrem | Centreon Documentation

 

But to come back to your ip problem : wifi is a network card, the issue you need to fix on your side is making sure you have setup virtual box correctly, and that your windows/macos laptop can communicate to the virtual network of virtualbox.

this will at least allow you to access the web page of your centreon central, and maybe monitor centreon itself

 

if you want to use the centreon to monitor something on the network, you can also make sure virtualbox is allowed to use the laptop’s network (the wifi in your case)

 

I don’t really understand your problem to be frank, if you could install centreon that means your RHEL Vm could communicate with internet, so has access to the network already.

HI @virvaq you are trying to install Centreon directly on your laptop or through a virtual machine?

Hi Laurent,

I install virtual box , but always download .ova and it must be .ovf .

So I create a VM , install Rhel 9 , and install with:

 curl -L -s https://download.centreon.com/24.10/unattended.sh | sh 

Which steps must I follow now?
