HTTP Collection mode - Filter possibility

Good morning,We are in the process of setting up supervision via the HTTP-Collection plugin and we cannot figure out how to make a filter in the "selection_loop" section which allows a selection to be made when the field contains a defined character string .Example: "filter": "%(http.tables.request1) = ‘*chaine*’"Thanking you for the help

HOWTO: Identify services that use a time period

Hi, there,I have several Pollers (Centreon 21.10).I have modified a time period and I would like to know which Poller is affected by this modification. This is to avoid having to reload all Pollers.Is there a way to do this?Stéphane

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

Database migration

Hello,I need to migrate a large amount of data from an old centreon server to a new centreon server.So I can use the migration document, but can I export only a part of the database? 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.

Centreon Applications

Hello,I'm interested in the Centreon ( the open source version)  I understand that the solution provides hardware monitoring.I wanted to know if the Nagios Core solution also offers monitoring for the following elements:Web Applications (internal IS and SaaS IS) (Access time to the service, definition of business actions, transactional errors, response time, incidents on plugins, etc.)Software installed on workstations (examples: Loading time, errors, CPU and memory usage. For the Office suite, a more detailed view (email opening time, waiting time for sending, opening time for encrypted emails, opening time for the calendar, opening time for Teams, display time for Teams, etc.)Operating System (examples: crashes, blue screens, driver issues)Antivirus, EDR (examples: Impact of the process on equipment load)Filers (examples: Network drives, OneDrive)Equipment startup (Example: including details up to the end of session loading as well as user-initiated shutdowns "button")I wanted to kno

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.

Hey, I recently installed centreon to monitor my extreme network switches but the centreon-plugins doesn’t work well. In this example, the hardware-global service checks 0 components while there is of course, more than 0 components.When I enter the command by hand (./centreon_extreme.pl --plugin=network::extreme::snmp::plugin:: --mode=hardware --hostname=ipAddress --snmp-version=2c --snmp-community=’roCommunity’ --component=’.*’ --verbose), it returns the following result :“OK: All 0 components are ok [ ].Checking fansChecking power suppliesChecking slotsChecking temperatureChecking poes”And yes that’s all I get. No error message or anything else. I can’t find the documentation for extreme networks with centreon-plugins. Can anyone tell me if I’m doing something wrong and if I am, how can I fix it ?

But it seems, that in this case, the boolean value is still something like ‘JSON::PP::Boolean=SCALAR(0x56146594f0d0)’ which I can not use in the filter for the count function.JSON is like that:{ "bindingName": "zway", "creationTime": 1694179518, "creatorId": 1, "customIcons": {}, "deviceType": "switchMultilevel", "firmware": "5.1", "h": 128847420, "hasHistory": false, "id": "ZWayVDev_xxxx", "location": 3, "locationName": "xxxxx", "manufacturer": "Fibaro", "metrics": { "icon": "blinds", "isFailed": false, "title": "xxxxx", "level": 99 },}I want to count all devices, which are in failed state (metrics.isFailed = true), but I’m not able to get

Utilisation des icones pour contrôle des URL

Bonjour,Avant ma question un peu (beaucoup ?) de mise en contexte.Dans le cadre de mon travail, j’ai dépoussiéré notre vieux Centreon (version 2.8.32) en y réalisant une petite mise à jour de la documentation à notre disposition pour faciliter la création de ticket et/ou la résolution des incidents.Pour cela, j’ai renseigné au maximum les champs personnalisés URL et URL d’action (notes_url et action_url); Cependant, à cause de certaines particularités de la configuration, ces champs ont été remplis soit dans la config des services directement soit dans la config des modèles associés.Mon projet actuel est de mettre en place un contrôle de Centreon permettant de déterminer si un service possède, à minima, une URL lui étant associé.La seule donnée identique (en tout cas visuellement), quelque soit la configuration des URL, est la présence des icônes :link.png quand Centreon repère une URL (notes_url) dans l’arborescence star-full.png quand Centreon repère une URL d’action (action_url) dan
