Automatic installation of plugins on central

Hi @Maxime M., Thank you for your idea proposal. I would invite you to reformulate it according to the guidelines you can find here. This would help the product manager team to better evaluate your proposal. Thanks for your understanding 😊

Hi @Maxime M.,

As you know, starting Centreon 22.04, the plugins are automatically installed on the monitoring servers, including the central server, as long as they are needed to monitor their resources.

In Service Discovery, the services are discovered by the monitoring server which monitors them, so normally there shouldn’t be any problem. BUT as you found out, at this particular step of Service Discovery, the central server executes the plugin locally in order to dynamically get the list of the macros that can be handled within the discovery rule.

This is not exactly an idea but it is a drawback we had not seen and that we will have to fix, and I thank you for reporting it.

PS: we also have a similar drawback in host discovery to fix.
