Performance data collection

Bonjour,Dans notre version antérieure de Centreon, il y avait une option dans la configuration des hôtes >> Traitement des données >> Option des données de performance >> bouton radio "Traitement des données de performance.Je ne trouve plus cette option dans notre version (22.04).Est-elle présente quelque part ailleurs ?Merci.Thierry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi,In a previous version of Centreon, we had an option in hosts configuration » traitements des données (data treatment, i am not sure what is the translation) » performance data collection» a radio button .In our latest version (22.04), I can’t find the option anymore.Can I find it somewhere else?Regards.Thierry

Monitoring DELL ME4024

Hello everyone,I’m trying to monitor my Dell ME4024 SAN array using Centreon via SNMP.I’ve attempted to use the “centreon-plugin-Hardware-Servers-Dell-(Idrac and Cmc)-Snmp” plugin to gather system information, but it’s not working 🤔.Does anyone know of another plugin that could help?Currently, I’m trying the “centreon-pack-network-dell-nseries-snmp” plugin, but when I attempt to download it, I receive the following error message: “Error: No matching entry found.”Thanks for your help.

Netapp Restapi FRU error

Hello,We monitor netapp stockage with the Netapp Ontap Restapi.We have an error on Hardware when all fru are not populated.Here a part of the command return with the debug flag:"frus": [        {          "type": "module",          "id": 0,          "state": "ok",          "part_number": "XXXXXXXXXXX",          "serial_number": "XXXXXXXXX",          "firmware_version": "XXXX",          "installed": true        },        {          "type": "module",          "id": 1,          "state": "error",          "installed": false        },        { I don’t seem to be able to filter out the fru module without disabling completly the fru check with the --filter=”fru”. To disable the check on one instance, the plugin seem to check with the instance id eg: the serial_number for the fru.

Fetching the content of an HTTP call

I want to add monitoring of Ciphermail gateways to my Centreon instance. Reading the documentation, Ciphermail provides HTTP endpoints that returns a {OK|Warning|Critical|Unknown}report. I thought I could use the HTTP Server connector but this seems to force you to test the content of the response in one way or another. Is there a way to just use the content as-is?

Hello everyone,I’ve been testing Centreon with the IT-100 license and am trying to manage my Aruba Instant On 1960 switch. However, I’m encountering some issues. Specifically, I’m unable to retrieve any information from the switch.The switch is connected, and the ping works fine. However, when I try to retrieve the CPU usage, my new service called "Aruba1_cpu" uses the “Net-aruba-Instant-Ap-Usage-SNMP” model, but the status shows:"OK: total access points: 0."Could anyone help me understand why this is happening and how I can resolve it?
