  • Persona: Centreon administrator

  • Problem to solve: Some companies or associations do not have room to install a physical server or a virtual machine. The installation of a Raspberry Pi with a simple power outlet is possible.

  • Expected outcome: monitor small infrastructures.

  • Potential solutions: package Centreon Poller for Raspberry OS or provide OS image.

RPI based deployment is a bad idea because of SD Card is too fragile media for write intensive workloads such as Centreon poller. We have used Intel NUCs with data center class SSDs for several years with great success, deployments with consumer grade SSDs all failed within a year.

To add to my previous comment, for SD Card based deployment to be considered safe it would require all write activity to be directed to a RAM disk, this includes logs and centreon data in /var/lib/.
