Create support to monitor Ruckus ICX stackNeeds Votes

Actually is not supported to monitor the stack status for Ruckus ICX switches. The stack status is important to ensure main functionalities.We have MIB’s and snmpwalk if you need.

Netflow CISCONeeds Votes

Create a connector to collect Netflow data from CISCO devices (router, switch) to Centreon.The interest is to avoid customers to need an other solution, like SolarWinds, to monitor top talkers, …Thanks !

Expand description in service discoveryDeclined

Hi all!By default the description in a service discovery it’s equal to @SERVICENAME@It can be changed using “Custom display scan” in “Advanced options”.Why not enable by default the display, in the description, of every macro?Eg.$description = "@SERVICENAME@ [macro1 = $macro1$] [macro2 = $macro2$] … [macroN = $macroN$]";

graph hosts or services status by hosts-group / service-groupNeeds Votes

Hello all,We would check and graph the number of hosts up and down for a group of hosts and then display this graph in a dashboard and in MAP.like the graph on poller engine do in Administration > Platform Status > Engine Statistics(and like is done by Centreon for live value on)Monitoring  >  Status Details  >  Hostgroups Summary This will allow MAP users and dashboard users to immediately and easily see when a significant problem has started or when it was finished. We can also imagine taking advantage of this to facilitate alarm management, for example, to easily manage notification not for a single individual host but for a group of hosts/services. And same advantage for escalation. Thanks a lot

Create simple Availability graph for number of host and services and there status.Needs Votes

Hello, I suggest creating a new dashboard or enhancing the existing one (Availability)within Centreon to provide a comprehensive view of the total number of services and hosts, along with their status. This dashboard should prominently display information such as number of OK, Critical, Warning, Unknown, and Pending services/host statuses in real time.Key Features of the Dashboard:Live Status Updates: Display the total number of services and hosts  and status in real time, allowing us to quickly identify any issues or anomalies. Different Time Frames: Provide options to view status trends over different time frames (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly) for historical analysis and trend identification. User-Friendly Interface: Design the dashboard with a focus on user experience, ensuring that information is presented clearly and intuitively. Impactful Visualizations: Utilize visual elements such as charts, graphs, and color-coded indicators to make the dashboard visually engaging and easy to interpret.Benefits:Improved Monitoring Efficiency: The dashboard will enable us to monitor a large volume of data more efficiently, reducing manual effort and streamlining decision-making. Real-Time Insights: With live status updates, we can promptly address issues and maintain optimal performance across our infrastructure. Historical Analysis: The ability to view status trends over time will facilitate trend analysis, proactive maintenance, and performance optimization.I believe that implementing this enhanced monitoring dashboard will significantly enhance our monitoring capabilities and contribute to a more proactive and efficient IT environment.Thank youcm123

Add possibility to disable an output with Centreon BrokerNeeds Votes

It will be perfect if we can disable an output (or an input) in Centreon Broker config file in order to avoid that Centreon Broker do retention. Or if we can disable retention for one type of output.It’s usefull when you use a lua Stream Connector and your Stream Connector doesn’t work because the remote tool doesn’t respond : we can avoid that Centreon Broker partition becomes full.

HA for remote servers and pollers ?In Backlog

Hello,The idea is about having a full HA (High Availability) functionality for a Centreon instance (HA Central + HA DB + HA Remote + HA Pollers) and not only for Central servers ?Thx’s  ;)

PaloAlto FW - monitor user-ID agent statusNeeds Votes

Paloalto firewals use the user-ID agent to detect credential submission, prevent credential pishing etc. For this reason it should be important to monitor the user-ID agent status on the firewall to ensure that is working fine.This can be done using SSH commands, so it should be nice to have a new mode “userid” on plugin network::paloalto::ssh::plugin to monitor this.You can find details on this PA KB: Useful CLI Commands for Troubleshooting User-ID Agent - Knowledge Base - Palo Alto Networks: To check if the agent is connected and operational:admin@anuragFW> show user user-id-agent statisticsName Host Port Vsys State Ver Usage---------------------------------------------------------------------------LAB_UIA 10.21.56.14 5007 vsys1 conn:idle 5Usage: 'P': LDAP Proxy, 'N': NTLM AUTH, 'C': Credential EnforcementA state of 'conn:idle' indicates the connected state. Usage would show blank if the User-ID agent is only furnishing user-ip mappings and no other services such as LDAP proxy, NTLM auth or credential enforcement.

Auto Discovery - regular automatic execution/schedule for servicesNeeds Votes

Hello all,As it is already possible to automate and schedule the automatic discovery of new hosts.We want to be able to do the same with automatic service discovery.Indeed, this automation process has already existed for a few years for the hosts discovery but will be much more useful for the services configurations.A host's services are added and removed much more regularly than a host itself.This is not convenient that auto discovery for services remains manual and cannot be automatically scheduled. Indeed, we have autodiscovery templates for services but these must be activated manually each time an network interface is added on a host.It would also be very convenient if the services corresponding to the interfaces could be activated and deactivated depending on whether the interface is admin-up or admin-down.Today in the state of this manually-autodiscovery-service-process as soon as a virtual or physical interface is added we are forced to run several different templates for a single host. It will be nice to don’t have to worry about this and don’t wast time for that.Indeed today we scan (manually) and add and active all the serivices-checks for all the interfaces of a host whether they are admin-up or admin-down in order to avoid executing the manual-autodiscovery with many templates on many hosts every 2 days. It would be great if these jobs ran automatically at scheduled intervals. Thanks a lot

A more user-friendly search barReleased

Since the new resources status pages, it became very difficult and no user-friendly to filter the results.Before, with the deprecated pages, it had different search fields "hosts”, “services”, “ouptut”, ..." and different selection fields. This was simple for any user, it was fast and efficient... … But today with this new single search field all research becomes too complicated. I have been an experienced Centreon user for 10 years, we have a 1000 hosts business version, but I am saddened to see that Centreon has become no user-firendly. In fact, all my users tell me that they can no longer find anything with this new single search bar. Today my users must to write long and unclear filters themselves, whereas they didn't have to worry about that before. They often don't know how to do it, they don't know if something is missing, they don't understand, it's too complicated for them and for an experienced users. Today my users must know the directives "s.description:, h.name:, information:, ...." whereas they did not have to worry about this before. Which is mission impossible for a normal user who has neither work nor time to waste, or not the desire to know all the subtleties of Centreon . Today my users must know the regex syntax. for example when they simply look for a network interface, otherwise they get error "Bad regex format 'HundredGigE0/1/1/0'". it is necessary to explain to them they must escape the regex with characters \. It's too complicated for a standard users and so annoying for an experienced users. Before they didn't have to worry about that. Since upgrade 22.04 to 23.04 it is no longer possible to search for results in the "long_output" tables even with the "information:" directive. Obviously this search function, although essential, was deliberately removed,  probably to prevent possible performance problems of the few customers who have very gigantic databases. Although it worked correctly for most centreon customers. I had no performance problem when we used this search on our database with more of 500 GB for 25k services.  proposals :Return of multiple search fields by default as in deprecated pages for simple use. And add an unfold button to access the expert search field corresponding to the new the single field. Have a possibility to activate or deactivate the search in the "long_output" fields. By default activate and have the possibility of deactivating it for who want this, like large clients with performance problems. Thank a lot 

Handle line return in commentNeeds Votes

Hi,When inputting a downtime comment with line returns, it appears like this : IMO the <br/> tag should be interpreted. Eventually truncating the comment if there are too many lines.I’m not sure that converting newline as <br> tag to store it in the DB is a good idea. Shouldn’t it be rather stored as ‘\n’ and converted when displayed?

Configurations services - add a new field for service descriptionNeeds Votes

Hello all,We would like to get a new field on “Service Configurations” where we could use it for detailed descriptions of that service.As already exists for host configurations with Alias fields.For example with a network host.If the service name is the interface name, the if-name.This new description field can be used for the alias/description of this interface, the if-alias. This new field can be configured manually by our own text or it can be configured automatically by the autodiscovery process.This new field will be displayed in the "Service resources Status" list and can be found in the search fields.This new field can also be used by notifications commands. Thanks a lot

Managing multi SID on Oracle BaseDeclined

Context:We have oracle server with multi SIDProblem:Actually the Oracle template can only manage one SID by Host. We couldn’t create one host by SID. We need to manage multiSID on the same hostConfiguration:Actually, we have create a new template for oracle using SID in the service like that is said in Bu we encounter multiple problem due to it… Could you make this change possible ?

Choix automatique du poller pour le host discovery / Automatic choice of poller for host discoveryIn Backlog

Bonjour, Voici une proposition qui, je l’avoue nous servirai bien.Nous avons plusieurs Pollers qui supervisent l’une de nos zones (HDS) qui est bien remplie de serveurs/services.Avec la découverte automatique d’hôtes, il serait avantageux de pouvoir sélectionner plusieurs Pollers dans les modificateurs pour qu’au moment de l’import, le processus choisisse automatiquement celui qui est le moins chargé niveau hôtes/services.J’espère que je me fais comprendre sur cette idée. Je pense que cette amélioration sera utile à d’autres personnes. Merci, bonne journée. En anglais...d’après Google trad ;-) Good morning,Here is a proposal which, I admit, will serve us well.We have several Pollers who supervise one of our zones (HDS) which is well populated with servers/services.With automatic host discovery, it would be advantageous to be able to select several Pollers in the modifiers so that when importing, the process automatically chooses the one that is least loaded in terms of hosts/services.I hope I make myself clear on this idea. I think this improvement will be useful to other people.Thanks, have a good day.

Upgrade Centreon should be available only for adminstratorsIn Backlog

Hello: When you’re using Centreon in a big company where a lot of people is using it at the same time is almost impossible to control who is accesing Centreon when you’re upgrading the platform. So, as SysAdmin while youre doing:yum update centreon\*You start to receive a lot messages from different people saying: “Hey, what’s wrong here?”  And suddenly, you realized that there is a crowd who is pressing: Next, next, upgrade, next, next… If everything works OK, its not a big problem, but if you have any problem upgrading so there are a lot of users executing “inserts” or “alter tables” in your database… So, should be this an option only available for administrator, shouldn’t be?After yum update centreon\* would be really fine to have something like this:  Or even simplest: show the upgrade wizard, just after log in as an administrator user. What do you think about it? Kind regards,  David Cucalon

BAM - How indicator are calculated - Include child AcknowledgeIn Backlog

Hello,All the calculation method for the Calculation methods is based on a Downtime on a child indicators.Will it be possible to include acknowledge ? Inherit the acknowledge status : the BA is automatically set in “acknowledge” whenever an indicator in a non-ok state is in acknowledge impacts the BA. The BA will still be impacted. Ignore the indicator in the calculation: when the indicator impacts the BA and is in planned downtime OR in acknowledge stat , its status/impact is ignored in the calculation.ThanksAl
