Host discovery not running

I’m trying to use host discovery as per:  https://docs.centreon.com/docs/monitoring/discovery/hosts-discovery/(with the Generic SNMP host discovery provider) Unfortunately, neither “execute immediately” nor scheduled jobs seem to ever progress from ‘scheduled’ to ‘running’ - the host discovery UI has them indefinitely stuck at ‘scheduled’, 0s duration, 0 hosts discovered, “execute now” and “show results” greyed out.What could I be missing?

Putting together a host template from scanned services

I’m just getting familiar with Centreon.I started by adding a couple of server-type hosts from our infrastructure, and put together some monitoring for them using the service scan function. That works great and gives me a very convenient resource overview. (All SNMP-based for now.)Now, I’d like to do a similar thing with the client machines on the network - to be able to see disk space getting low, VMs burning CPU/memory while idling, stuff like that.I’ve added one such client host as a starting point, and again used the scan function to add the 10 or so services I’m interested in.Now, my question is, how do I create templates from those 10 scanned services, so I can put them together into a host template and ideally auto-discover my range of 35+ client machines and have the same service monitors applied?I.e., is there a “template from existing service” function that copies over all the service’s configuration values?

SNMP deprecated, use CIM instead, on Windows 10 workstation

Hi everyone,I am asked to monitor some of our divices within Centreon.Some templates are already used, so I was asked to edit a script for gatheing some Data.We are in an SCCM Iinfrastructure, we have some Distribution Points and some PCs configured as Peer Cache.So, for those PCs, I want to monitor some of theire characteristics. I can’t use SNMP on the PCs because it is deprecated and is no more available within Windows 10 OS.Microsoft advise is to use the CIM model.I have the request for the data I want to gather:$namespace = "ROOT\ccm\Policy\Machine\ActualConfig"$classname = "CCM_SuperPeerClientConfig" $SPCParameters = Get-WmiObject -Class $classname -ComputerName $computer -Namespace $namespace | Select-Object CanBeSuperPeer, HttpsEnabled$SPCParameters.CanBeSuperPeer$SPCParameters.HttpsEnabled if(($SPCParameters.CanBeSuperPeer -eq $true) -and ($SPCParameters.HttpsEnabled -eq $true)){    # Rien à faire, tout est ok}else{    Write-Host "Vérifier la présence du " $computer "dans la c

Or can I just transfer all the data at once?Because I have a large amount of data to transfer (on average 200GB in centreon_storage).Thank you for your answer.

All monitored services are ok except ‘Esx-Memory’, which has status UNKNOWN with error: Cannot get counter 'mem.state.latest' for the sampling period '300' (counter level: 2, sampling level: 1) . I found some advise that it can be fixed in vcenter web client but i cannot find where to change value from 1 to 2 for ‘ mem.state.latest ‘ settings, which is responsible for this counter.
