Hi All, 

I am new to centreon as a tool and the community. We are using Centreon to monitor several services and hosts and we have a requirement to see if our in-house applications can post metrics through API to Centreon.

 

Is there any way to accomplish this without developing a plugin?

 

Thanks,

Rad

Hi, 

 

Just to make sure I get it, what would you expect exactly: 

 

  • Centreon receives data passively from apps through a dedicate API endpoint? 
  • Centreon scrapes data from an HTTP endpoint your applications expose?

Hi @sims24  and thanks for the quick reply.

Correct! Centreon to receives data from API endpoint and handled as any other service we monitor.
