“No parent platform found” error when registering a Raspberry Pi poller in Centreon

Hello everyone,

I’m facing an issue when trying to register a Centreon poller on a Raspberry Pi 4, connected to my Centreon server hosted on a remote VM managed by a third party.

I followed the official documentation and installed the necessary packages on the Raspberry Pi. When I run the following command on the poller:

 

bash /usr/share/centreon/bin/registerServerTopology.sh -u <API_ACCOUNT> -t poller -h <CENTREON_SERVER_IP> -n <POLLER_NAME>

I consistently get the error:
“error no parent platform was found for”

I checked the Centreon database (platform_topology table) and the central platform is present with parent_id = NULL.

The poller and the Centreon server are not on the same local network.

If anyone has encountered this issue or has suggestions, I would appreciate the help!

Thanks in advance.

Can you try to update ip address in this table and try again registerServerTopology.sh script from your polle?

Hi ​@fducos can you check that IP address of the central server in platform_topology table is the external one that see your poller to connect to?

Hello,

No, the IP address present in the platform_topology table is not the same as the one where the Raspberry Pi poller connects.

    I have  updated the IP address in the platform_topology table with the public IP.

    However, when I run the registerServerTopology.sh script again from the poller, I still get the same response.

    Could you please advise on what else I should check or do?

    Thanks in advance!

    It’s working now — I had mistakenly set the wrong IP address in the platform_topology table.
    After correcting it with the proper public IP, the registerServerTopology.sh script worked as expected.

    Thank you very much for your help and support!
