Fresh install on Alma 9 as per Unattended installation of a central server | Centreon Documentation.

Simple single server for everything setup. GUI seems to work, but the poller does not  come up:
 

# systemctl restart centengine
# systemctl status centengine | nl
     1  × centengine.service - Centreon Engine
     2       Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/centengine.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
     3       Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2026-04-28 14:48:08 CEST; 5s ago
     4     Duration: 42ms
     5      Process: 67873 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/centengine /etc/centreon-engine/centengine.cfg (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
           …
    15  Apr 28 14:48:08 dev12 centengine[67873]: No module configuration file provided in the Engine configuration file.
    16  Apr 28 14:48:08 dev12 systemd[1]: centengine.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
    17  Apr 28 14:48:08 dev12 systemd[1]: centengine.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.


What do I have to put in there? Is it a feature that the installer didn’t do this?

Hi ​@pklausner , did you try to generate and export configuration?

Thanks a lot. Having done Nagios, I thought I can gloss over the small print. And ‘export configuration’ didn’t sound like it’s sth I’d need to do.

look at the install procedure you linked, you need to click here, the first thing it says is to push the configuration 😀
