The Centreon Monitoring Agent (CMA) collects metrics and computes statuses on the servers it monitors, and sends them to Centreon. Centreon plugins as well as Nagios-compatible plugins can be used with this agent.

 

Step 1: Set up the environment

 

Case 1: Centreon IT-100

You need to upgrade your platform to the latest version (at least 24.04.6), including pollers.

 

Case 2: Centreon Business Edition (<24.04.6)

You need to set up a new platform and request a temporary licence from our team: use private message or email to fmattes@centreon.com and provide your platform fingerprint (on the Administration > Extensions > Manager page). 

 

Case 3: Centreon Open Source

Create the following commands and templates manually.

Hi, thanks for your interest in CMA Beta. 

There is no download link for CMA Linux, you just have to deploy the centreon-monitoring-agent package (see https://docs.centreon.com/pp/integrations/plugin-packs/getting-started/how-to-guides/cma/#download-and-install-the-agent).

ie for Alma9 : 

dnf install centreon-monitoring-agent

 

Let me know if you encounter any issue

Hello, thank you for the information.

I have already installed it on Debian 12. What would be the repository for Ubuntu 22.04?

 

Best regards
