Centreon MAP RestAPI - token only authenticationNew

Hello,To interact with Centreon MAP using RestAPI one must authenticate providing a user and password as described in the documentation: https://docs.centreon.com/docs/24.10/api/map-api/ . Only after that a token is generated and provided.We would like to suggest that only a token (created in Administration > Authentication Tokens) is needed to start interacting with Centreon MAP RestAPI so the authentication step with username and password and generating a random token is not needed. Best regards,Jarosław Kęsy

columns are not displayed by default in Resource StatusNeeds Votes

Hello,In the “Resources Status” screen, the “Note” and “Action” columns are not displayed by default. The user must add them manually. If filled in, these ‘Note’ and “Action” fields allow you to add notes or links to URLs. In our case, we use them to link to procedures related to the alert or to provide additional information about the alert. This is very useful for business supervision.It would be a good idea to allow the administrator to add columns for users in the “resources status” menu. This would mean that users would not have to add them themselves and there would be no dependence on the browser.What do you think? Bonjour,Dans l'écran "Statuts des ressources", les colonnes "Note" et "Action" ne sont pas affiché par défaut. C'est à l'utilisateur des les ajouter manuellement. Ces champs "Note" et Action" si elles sont renseignées, permettent d'ajouter des notes ou des liens vers des URL. Dans notre cas nous les utilisons pour cliquer vers des procédures en lien avec l'alerte ou donner des informations complémentaire sur l'alerte. C'est très utile pour la supervision des métiers.Il serait judicieux de laisser à l'administrateur la possibilité d'ajouter des colonnes pour les utilisateurs dans le menu "statuts des ressources". Et ainsi ne pas demander aux utilisateurs de les ajouter eux-même et ne pas garder de dépendance avec le navigateur.Qu'en pensez-vous ?

Linux SSH Plugin – Add Support for “Logical Maximum Size” and Percentage Thresholds in Files-Size ModeNew

Persona:Centreon administratorProblem to solve:In the current Linux SSH – Files-Size mode, thresholds are calculated based only on the raw directory size in bytes. For directories subject to operational "soft limits" or logical growth policies (where no system-level quotas are enabled), the lack of a reference capacity makes percentage-based monitoring impossible. This requires administrators to manually recalculate byte-based thresholds whenever a logical limit is adjusted.Current behavior:The plugin retrieves the directory size using the du command via SSH but does not provide a parameter to define a reference capacity. Thresholds are strictly compared against absolute byte counts, and no percentage usage is calculated in the status output or performance data.Expected outcome:Allow the plugin to use a user-defined "Logical Maximum Size" as an optional reference for threshold calculation. Users could choose between: Default: Thresholds based on the raw directory size in bytes. Optional: Thresholds based on a percentage of a manually defined --max-size. Potential solutions: Add a new option (e.g., --max-size) to define the 100% reference value (supporting units like G, M, or bytes). Add a new option (e.g., --use-percentage) to interpret warning and critical inputs as percentage values of the maximum size. Enhance performance data by populating the "max" field of the size metric and adding a dedicated size_prct metric. Update the status output to display the usage ratio (e.g., "Used / Max (Usage %)"). Benefits / Impact: Scalability: Enables the use of generic Service Templates where only a capacity macro is adjusted per host. Operational Clarity: Provides intuitive feedback (percentage of a limit) rather than raw byte counts for operators.

Support for Rubrik Security Cloud (RSC)Planned

Rubrik 9.4+ now moves many on‑prem clusters to RSC‑only management, disabling local CDM REST APIs. As a result, the current Centreon Rubrik REST API plugin cannot monitor these environments, since it only supports CDM clusters and not the RSC console.Rubrik officially transitioned from REST to GraphQL APIs for RSC management and recommends using GraphQL for monitoring.A GitHub issue already requests GraphQL support for the Centreon plugin, but no RSC‑compatible plugin exists yet.Request:Please add an official Centreon Plugin Pack supporting Rubrik Security Cloud (RSC) using GraphQL and RSC authentication (client_id / client_secret).Thank you!

Improve the discoverability of host templates within Web InterfaceNeeds Votes

Right now when a use is on Centreon and wants to create a host, the only component they can use to decide what to implement is the Template select field.This is a little bit raw to let users discover what they want to install.In a similar way as Connectors or the new wizard for pollers, i would like to be able to let users go in a cleaner interface to choose what template they are looking to implement.This could take many forms as it’s more related to how the UI would show the information to the user and i’m unsure how easily we can structure this from the list of templates.But this is my idea, to avoid the hassle of the user going through documentation to find what host template to use, to prefer to stay on the centreon and go through a wizard to choose what template to integrate. What does the community think of this ?

New check methodDeclined

Hi,it should be great to have a specific check method that do only one check by day, at a random hour.For now, we can do a 1 check service on a specific time period, but all checks are done at the start of the time period.When we need only one check by day for a service, we don’t care about the time of the check, and it will be more light to process for pollers.

Hello,Would it be possible to get the state type (SOFT/HARD) from the timelines retrieved by API ?For the endpoint : /monitoring/hosts/{host_id}/services/{service_id}/timelineWe would like to get the field "state_type". It is present in /monitoring/services endpoint.When a service gets critical, we have every tries in the timeline (also in the web interface). Having the state type would allow us sort each event in the timeline.

Dashboard add period in Status ChartNeeds Votes

Hello,In the availability section, it is possible to filter by period but not on the dashboard which I find unfortunate.The idea would be to allow within the status chart the ability to define a time period just like in the availability section. This would make it possible from the dashboard to view host statuses over for example the last 7 days, the last hour, or even the last month, etc...Have a great day everyone!

Vcenter, monitoring top level alert (no datacenter alert and no cluster alert).Needs Votes

Hi, The vCenter connector is very good, but it lacks a feature that, for me, is essential. Alerts at the vCenter level only are not detected.I found some requests on GitHub or on TheWatch:https://github.com/centreon/centreon-plugins/issues/3854https://thewatch.centreon.com/infra-monitoring-platform-7/monitoring-vcenter-alarm-not-datacenter-or-cluster-952https://github.com/centreon/centreon-plugins/issues/2983 Many of these alarms (at the vCenter level) concern critical elements of the VMware infrastructure (kms, licence, lifecycle, certificate, identity provider,etc...).It would be a good idea to include these alarms.Best regards,

code optimization for mode apps::backup::rubrik::restapi::mode::jobsReleased

the plugin is using the Rubrik API, but if you query for a single backup job it could take minutes to complete in a bigger environment with a lot of backup jobs. if you are using curl and the API with a query object that is using a job name, the query finish within 1-2 seconds. curl -H "content-type:application/json" -H "authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxxx" -H "accept:application/json" 'https://xxxxxx.xxxx.com/api/v1/job_monitoring?limit=500&object_name=my-backup-job-name' | jq looks like the plugin is receiving the whole jobs list and than doing a selection, this could be optimized by building the query URL like in the curl command, so you receive very fast the result and have not to wait minutes (timeout of the check and the centengine default timeout is too low)

[network::fortinet::fortigate::snmp::plugin] Mode VPN : Service DiscoveryReleased

Bonjour,Nous utilisons le plugin Fortigate pour monitorer nos firewalls en SNMP, le discovery du service "Interfaces" fonctionne bien mais Nous aurions voulu mettre en place le discovery pour le mode "vpn".Actuellement le check du mode vpn est un check global qui remonte tout le temps Critical.Fortigate fait la différence entre le check de l'interface d'un tunnel VPN (qui peut être UP) et le check du VPN en lui-même avec toutes les phases 2 (Qui peuvent être down).Nous avons donc actuellement 2 checks distincts or il faudrait que le discovery vpn remonte tout les vpn+phase deux de manière indépendante (Il y en a des centaines par équipements en moyenne).Nous avons créer des commandes de Macro et Discover pour le mode vpn en en modifiant le script perl basé sur le discover du interface (En ajoutant les sections pour les paramètres --disco-show et --disco-format).Cette solution ne fonctionne pas...Y a t'il un autre moyen d'automatiser la création de ces services ?Cordialement conf commande VPN discoverconf command VPN macro
