Centreon to supervise my office network

Question

Hello Centreon Community,I’m currently setting up Centreon to supervise my office network and would appreciate some guidance.I have installed Centreon on a virtual machine (VM) running under VMware Workstation on my PC.My network IP range is 10.206.38.10 to 10.206.38.254.  i want to supervise real machines and their actual network usage using this Centreon setup.What is the best method to scan and add all the machines in my network to Centreon?Are there specific plugins or configurations I should use for effective monitoring?Since Centreon is running in a VM, what are the best networking settings to ensure it can reach all machines in my network? (NAT, Bridged, etc.)

Helo Rosa, most likely you would need to make use of the AutoDiscovery feature of Centreon.

Introduction | Centreon Documentation
It does require a licence so check that depending on the amount of assets that you wish to monitor.

For you to be sure to be able to interact with the components of your IT, i would setup a bridge interface so your VM has an ip within the same network as your equipements. That’s the easiest i would say.

Keep us updated and have fun.
