Hello, we're using Centreon Open Source (unlicensed) version 24.10.11.

 

Based on this thread: https://thewatch-centreon-com.translate.goog/centreon-monitoring-agent-61/how-to-deploy-and-use-centreon-monitoring-agent-3891?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=fr&_x_tr_hl=fr&_x_tr_pto=sc :

I understand that templates must be created manually. However, we're not talking about CPU, RAM, and storage.

The agent installed on a Windows server only allows these checks:
- Certificates
- cmd-return
-list-certificates
-list-storages
-pending-reboot
-session
-time
-update

I don't see the classic CPU RAM Storage checks...

Is this still not supported?

Hi,

There are plenty other CMA checks available for Windows.

The procedure has been updated.

You can also have a look on our documentation.

Regards,

Hello,fmattes, 

Tthank you. I was just looking at this documentation yesterday, and I didn't think I'd seen the details of the CPU and RAM (...) commands.

Thank you very much for this update.

We agree that we still need to manually create the checks, or is it possible to download:

centreon-pack-operatingsystems-windows-centreon-monitoring-agent.deb in open source?

You are welcome ​@Christopher ! 

Monitoring connectors are part of the IT or Business editions.

In Open Source edition, you need to create et update templates manually.

fmattes, your responsiveness is greatly appreciated!

 

For your information, I configured all the checks and templates using a script (CLAPI).

In addition, I set up a Windows test host with CPU, RAM, and Storage checks.

After restarting the agent, no changes were observed.

 

I’m not sure if this issue is the same as the one described here:
