Hello,
I did some tests with the new Centreon Monitoring Agent with a Windows Server host and I was wondering if there was a possibility to restrict some check or command on the host directly ?
I tested with the connexion agent to poller and I was able to restart the server (so I think that shutdown is possible also) using the centreon plugin with the mode cmd-return just by putting shutdown /r in the --command option.
That means that anyone with an access to Centreon can reboot or shutdown a server if the CMA is configured on the host.
Thanks for the help !
 

Hello,

I think you can do this by whitelisting the specific commands you need from cmd-return

https://docs.centreon.com/fr/pp/integrations/plugin-packs/getting-started/how-to-guides/cma/cma-setup/#ajoutez-les-commandes-cma-à-vos-listes-blanches-personnalisées

Especially in the cma-whitelist block

By whitelisting only the commands you needs for monitoring purpose, you exclude every other commands

 

Hope it helps

I don’t understand how this whitelist is working

On the poller, in your custom whitelist file (e.g., /etc/centreon-engine-whitelist/my-whitelist.yml), include the following lines in the cma-whitelist block:

 

But I want to limit commands on the server who host the agent, not the Poller.

Because I’m admin of the host, not the Centreon.
