We would like to inform you of an important change regarding our network discovery plugin. Due to the licensing terms associated with NMAP and the end of Centreon's distribution rights for this binary, we will be required to remove the NMAP dependency currently bundled within our Centreon Plugin. While this decision affects current behavior, it is necessary to ensure legal compliance and the long-term sustainability of our solution.
This change will take effect with the next Monitoring Connectors release scheduled for June. If you are using the NMAP-based discovery feature, it will no longer work after this update without action on your part (related job in error). To continue using it, you will need to manually install the NMAP package directly on your pollers. This operation remains straightforward and well-documented — NMAP is available in the standard repositories of most Linux distributions.
We will support this transition with an update to our official documentation, including installation steps and prerequisites depending on your operating system. Thank you for your understanding — we remain available through our usual support channels for any questions. Feel free to share your feedback on our community forum.
