Legacy MAP Retirement [Updated 09/30/24]

[Update 09/30/24] This update confirms that MAP Legacy will be retired with 24.10 This is an announcement that Centreon will retire Centreon MAP Legacy starting next version 24.10. The diagramming and mapping functionality referred to as Centreon MAP is currently shipped in two flavors:MAP Legacy which relies on a client application running on a desktop to create/edit maps MAP Web, a web client fully embedded into the Centreon user interfaceThe following only relates to Centreon on-premise installations as Centreon Cloud already runs MAP Web. Given the change in technology and the migration necessary to move from MAP Legacy to MAP Web, Centreon has been continuing full support of MAP Legacy until now.With hundreds of production platforms now running MAP Web, we believe it is time to consider deprecating MAP Legacy. Centreon will end support of MAP Legacy with the next major version of Centreon: 24.10.MAP Legacy will continue being shipped and supported on 23.04, 23.10 and 24.04 accordi

[UPDATED] Deprecated views will be retired [in an upcoming] major version
[UPDATED] Deprecated views will be retired [in an upcoming] major versionProduct updates

[UPDATE AS OF 02/12/2024]As we are progressing towards next major release and still receiving feedback for required features in Resource Status we have decided to take a step back and NOT retire deprecated views in the Spring 24 version.We are planning the Fall version and will prioritize those enhancements in order to be in a position to then retire those views.Stay tuned and continue sending your valuable feedback![END OF UPDATE] It had been announced a long time ago that the plan was to remove the legacy host and services views as those are now replaced with Resource Status. This was visible both in the documentation as well as in the product.    Up until now, those views have still been shipped and it has been possible to enable them through Administration menus.We’ve gathered feedback from those of you who still use them as you find that Resource Status breaks your usual workflows or does not fit with your user’s skills. Even though Centreon 23.10 isn't available just yet (coming

Top/Down Widget in Dashboard for multiple metrics

I would love to use the top/bottom widget in the Dashboard for multiple Metrics.perfect would be a dynamic metric list, ex. all matrics of a specific service that matches a specific name. Example Usecase:We have a service Storage with a per disk metric for the remaining lifetime and temperature. It would be nice to have a list of the Disks/Systems with the highest disk temperature or the lowest remaining lifetime. Example:Lifetime of Disks in percentTemperature of Disks Is it possible or will be possible in a future release?

How to calculate percent and add it to perfdata ?

Hello all, Using the Virt-VMWare2-ESX-Memory-Generic service, I want to be able to graph the values as a percentage.https://docs.centreon.com/pp/integrations/plugin-packs/procedures/virtualization-vmware2-esx/ By default, the plugin outputs these three performance data, but the one that interests me the most is missing.'used'=83033128960B;;;0;205563826176'overhead'=0B;;;0;'state'=0;;;0;3 To this I would add at the output of the service a performance metric which calculates and graphs the percentage. I would hope to do this with the “EXTRAOPTIONS” but I don't know how. Does anyone know if this is possible ? without having to rewrite the official script ? I need it for this case but it could be used in other contexts and plugins Thanks a lot

Ancienne IP d'un hôte lors du contrôle au lieu de la nouvelle

Bonjour,Depuis quelques temps, j'ai des hôtes dont j'ai modifié les IP. Lors des contrôles, une fois sur deux, le contrôle prend l'ancienne IP, puis le contrôle suivant il reprend la bonne IP.J'ai vérifié en BDD et l'IP est bien renseignéC'est comme si il y avait deux fichiers de configuration, dont un ancien, et qu'à tour de rôle, les fichiers étaient inversé.Et également, quand je modifie un argument dans un service, il n'est pas pris en compte, malgré avoir exporté et redémarrer l'ordonnanceur.Je précise aussi que j'ai recréé un nouveau serveur centreon, et importer mes BDD, mais rien ne change.ça fait des jours que je suis dessus et je ne trouve aucune piste. Si quelqu'un à une idée, je suis preneur.Merci d'avance.

Retention des graph' forcé à 180 jours

Bonjour, J’ai un bug étrange, je souhaite conserver les graph’ sur une durée d’au moins 1 an pour l’ensemble des sondes présentes sur Centreon. Pour ça j’ai bien spécifié 365 jours initialement dans les options sauf que dans la pratique ça ne fonctionne pas ou pas longtemps.En regardant quelques post sur le forum j’ai vu qu’il fallait reconstruire la BDD RRD, ça ok. Sauf que ça marche pendant la reconstruction mais pas une fois fini. Exemple 1 : Avant reconstruction Exemple 2 : Pendant la reconstruction Exemple 3 : Après reconstruction Comme on peu le voir dans l’exemple 2, la date de départ des premières infos est bonne. J’ai mis en place ce Centreon en Juillet dernier. Mais une fois fini ça revient a 180 jours d’affichage.J’ai tout mis à jour, j’étais en 23.04.06 (Debian 11) avant, après 23.04.16 et même problème. Puis les captures ont été faite sur le 23.10.10, et c’est pareil. J’ai rechangé la valeur de rétention en passant de 365 à 380 dans tous les champs ou c’était à 365 pour êt

[MAP] Red container and object with acknowledged alarm

Good evening,I’ve 2 questions about Centreon Map: 1) A container is red because one object inside (a switch) have an alarm, but is acknowledged.It is possible to ignore in map the acknowledged alarms? 2) I draw 2 crossed lines between 4 container, I try to move the text of these lines but when I click on save, they return to the center of the lines, overlapping.It’s a bug? At the moment to resolve this problem I modify the path of one line (I attach 2 image that explain this). Thanks, Regards,Andrea

REST API v2 & curl

Hello,is anyone has successfully queried the REST API v2 using curl and a JSON payload with a GET request? I’m trying to get a list of hosts with a specific host template. I’m not sure it’s possible as host template doens’t seem to be a usable criteria for configuration/hosts endpoint. Moreover, when I search for a specific host, the response is I must specify the address and the monitoring_server_id which differs from the documentation as I should search only by specifiying the name of the host (https://docs-api.centreon.com/api/centreon-web/24.04/#tag/Host/paths/~1configuration~1hosts/get) My curl request: curl -H “Content-Type: application/json” -H “X-AUTH-TOKEN: `cat token.txt`” “https://URL/centreon/api/latest/configuration/hosts?search” -d ‘{“name”:”hostname”}’response : {"code":400,"message":"[address] The property address is required\n[monitoring_server_id] The property monitoring_server_id is required\n"}and if I send the address & monitoring_server_id :{"code":409,"messag

Missing Information in the Availability page

Hello,I am using centreon 24.10.6.I’ve had all servers up and running for a while now and I’ve noticed that there are some gaps in the Availability page in the Reporting tab. Most recently I noticed a gap of more than a week where the status is written as “Undetermined” even though the servers were in fact up and the checks were still running without issue and without change (seen in logs).Although I could take the Mean Time percentages, I’d rather have the graph display the correct values. I’ve tried rebuilding for these dates and it executes without error but doesn’t change anything. /usr/share/centreon/cron/eventReportBuilder --config=/etc/centreon/conf.pm --start-time="2025-05-25" --end-time="2025-06-05" --rebuild The conf.pm file is correctly configured.This is the output of the rebuild command:  I wasn’t able to find the issue, if you have any idea please let me know, thank you !

How to display the MAPs on the Web interface ?

In the Monitoring > Map menu of the Centreon web interface, in 21.10 version, what are the prerequisites for displaying the different MAPs that we create with our heavy client? I can see them, but my colleagues can’t, and I don't know why, since we belong to the same groups so the same rules are applied to us. Do we need to change something at the ACL level ? Is there any parameters on their profile that I need to change ?

Traffic Ressources on MAP 21.10

Hello,I have different resources named “Traffic” (from an interface) that i want to put on a view, on Centreon MAP 21.10. But when i select “Geometric style”, a green little triangle appears. I want to increase it size, so we can be able to see it when we’ll display the view on a screen, but increasing the size (by stretching the corners) just increase the size of the surface of the icon, and not the size of the triangle properly. Do you have any other solution so we can see it more easily ?

Add a notion of duration to a probe before confirming the status

Today, we have probes for CPU, Swap and Memory and I'd like to be able to add a duration before considering the alert, whether it's warning or critical.A CPU consumption of over 90% for 3 minutes doesn't require the same analysis as a consumption of over 90% for 1 hour.That's why I'd like to add this waiting time before triggering the alert

24.10.2 dashboard grid view - aknowledged services not filtered

Hi,We just updated to the version 24.10.2, and started to use the dashboards just now, we were (and are) still using custom view for most of our issues We created a dashboard for our services, and we can see that the aknowledged ones appear in the grid view, and I can’t find a workaround to get rid of them. I found this post for the previous version (problem with the 24.4.4, patched in 24.4.5) I looked around in the new DbReadResourceRepository.php file, it look like the filter is already set to resources.enabled = 1 (lines 184 and 462), but aknowledged services still show in the view.  I’m not against a workaround if there is no solution yet, I didn’t found a related issue in the recent posts (24.10 and up), but thanks to anyone that can help us start with those dashboard views =)

Hostgroup Custom view empty with a non admin User

I was testing use cases on my centreon instance 23.10 with some hosts in a host group, then i wanted to provide custom view for monitoring purposes.I had no issue preparing those dashboards, but when i moved from 22.10 to 23.10, i realized that if a user isn’t configured as Admin, it cannot use the hostgroup widget, it stays empty.It doesn’t seem to be an ACL issue as the user can see the data in the resource status view and can even use the host monitoring widget. I’m unaware of what could be causing such issue.I saw there was issues with the filtering process as well on version 23.10 of Centreon, but i’m unsure if that’s related, so i’m opening an issue here.
