Plugins non accecible debian 12

Bonjour, J’ai installé sur une machine debian 12 (fresh install) centreon. Tous est ok sauf….. Les plugins.Après plusieurs recherches, il est spécifié dans l’installation, une partie “Proxy”, sauf que nous n’en avons pas, la machine fait bien ces mises à jour debian, télécharge les paquets sur les repository, etc.Même si je télécharge les plugins avec debian, centreon ne veut rien savoir. J’ai testé de faire l’installation chez moi en perso, tout fonctionne.Du coup, je me pose des questions. Est-il obligatoire d’avoir un proxy ?Par quel port passe le Monitoring Connector Mannager afin d’afficher les plugins sur la page ? Voici à quoi ressemble ma page : Merci de votre aide,Cdt,

What users need

Hi,Nowadays some pretend that companies and developers relay on AI to understand what their users need: https://www.algolia.com/I can understand how IA, particularly deep-learning, can improve software on many levels, for example in Centreon, how it can help to determine and tune alert thresholds or reveal problem patterns which could else stay invisible to operators, I hardly see how it can be relevant for such type of high-level, human-oriented problems.Does anybody has some experience in the matter?To keep this discussion a bit Centreon centric: what do you think of the cloud-based aspect (ie: SaaS) of the IA features developed in Centreon? While it is sure that that kind of application is very often ressource intensive, it is also an obvious source of valuable data many organisms would like not to freely share but monetize themselves. The fact is a lot of companies today have the infrastructures (datalakes, distributed systems, etc…) to do so. I guess they’d like to be able to run

CPU Ready plugin virt-vmware

Hello,My monitoring server is warning me about CPU Ready consumption over 5% but when I calculate this value with extracted data directly picked from my vcenter, I’m not able to find the same result.I also installed a new system which is able to graph CPU Ready and this value for a particular virtual machine doesn’t exceed 1%.What am I doing wrong with Centreon ?It seems that this value is multiplied by 10 in the plugin.Thank you for your help.

SSH persistent connections

Special character service monitoring

Hi,I am monitoring the services of a server, but it has in its display name, special characters like “ç” and “~” and when I ask to verify the service, it gives the PROBLEM error, which is its way of saying that it did not identify the service.I managed to monitor other services on the same server, but these services did not have a special character.Any tips on how to make centreon identify these special characters?
