Removing the ability to create services linked to multiple hosts or host groupsFeature Sunset

Dear users, In order to simplify and improve the user experience of our software, we plan to remove two features in an upcoming major update:Creating services linked to multiple hosts. Creating services by host group.We understand that these features may still be used by some of you, but we believe they can be replaced by the use of templates. We are making this decision to optimize the software and make it more intuitive. Proposal of solutions when updating the Centreon platform Services linked to multiple hostsCreating a service linked to multiple hosts allows you to have an identical configuration of this service for multiple hosts.This service can be transformed into a service template. A single service will be created for each linked host and will inherit the template you previously created.This update will be performed automatically during the Centreon platform update process (target: Centreon 25.10). Services by Host GroupCreating a service by host group allows for the same serv

BBDO2 Deprecation with Centreon 25.10 ReleaseFeature Sunset

 We wish to inform all users that BBDO2 will be officially deprecated with the 25.10 release of Centreon. This change is part of our ongoing effort to enhance the platform’s performance, security, and compatibility with modern infrastructure requirements. What is BBDO? BBDO, for Binary Broker for Data Operations, is a core protocol for exchanging monitoring data between a Centreon central server and pollers/remote servers.  Why is BBDO2 Being Deprecated? With Broker 22.04.0, we have introduced a new version of BBDO based on Google Protobuf 3.The new protocol remains compatible with the previous one, but introduces new events.There are several key reasons for the depreciation of BBDO2:Performance improvements Flexibility: easier maintenance and enhancements To enable Broker-managed configuration & differential configuration export, which are using Protobuf messages (reduced network footprint for configuration updates).What This Means for You For most of our customers, BBDO3 is aread

Supervision de sauvegarde / d'un fichier unique

Bonjour,Dans un répertoire donné, il y a 1 fichier de sauvegarde par jour.Le plugin NRPE permet de vérifier s’il y a UN fichier présent dans le répertoire qui a une date de modification de moins de UN jour.Exemple : /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_centreon_nrpe -H IP -p 5666 -t 60 -u -m 8192 -c check_files -a "paths=E:/Dump/" "pattern=*.bak" "warning=count>1" "critical=count<1" top-syntax='${status}: ${problem_count}/${count} files (${problem_list})' detail-syntax='' filter="written > -1d" "empty-state=CRITICAL"Je n’arrive pas à reproduire le même fonctionnement avec les plugins FTP/SNMP/CIFS. Ils semblent ne pas avoir de fonction pour vérifier la date d’écriture ET le nombre de fichiers attendu.Exemple : /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_protocol_ftp.pl --plugin=apps::protocols::ftp::plugin --mode=date --hostname=IP --username='login' --password='password' --warning='84600' --critical='' --directory='/Backup'/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_protocol_cifs.pl --plugin=apps::p

Alma Linux 10.8 Update Breaking Centreon

Being the first of the month is was time for me to run my regular updates for my Centreon VMs.  This is  running AlmaLinux 8.10 Kernel 4.18.0-553.60.1.e18_10.x86_64 and Centreon Version 24.04.15 after the new update and it has broken all of my monitoring.  Execute command failed is the error that I am seeing in the status page.  I have rebooted the machine with no change.  Some googling came up with making sure SELinux was disabled.  Initially it was not, but I did change that, rebooted the system again and still getting the same error.Fortunately this is a VM and I did take a snapshot prior to updating so was able to restore functionality quickly.  Did some more research, ran the update again, but still the same result.  Anyone else run into the same issue?  Or would have any further thoughts on what I should check?

View by host

Hi,The view by host is limited to 100 objects per page: Wrong number of servicesIt leads to a wrong number of services for host, as you can see in the image below: Right number of servicesThis is utterly wrong in my opinion.Moreover, I don’t understand why the the number of objects per page is limited to such a low maximum   of 100.Is the Javascript which handles the display is so CPU intensive that displaying more objects would be too much for a descent browser?!This is Centreon Web 23.10.16

What user for CLAPI command

I’m facing regular issues with using the CLAPI centreon command.Especially in terms of permissions. I face issues regarding permissions on log files or php files, sometimes it’s files created that are blocking gorgone. I was wondering if there was a clear recommendation in terms of what is required in terms of permissions for the execution of a CLAPI centreon command.Is itas root as apache (i’m running in RHEL 9) as centreon (or other centreon linked user like centreon-engine) as a custom user but with centreon as a secondary group  Would someone that faced similar issues please guide me ?Thank you so much

Change of behavior of CLAPI between 24.10.2 and 24.10.3 (on empty returns)

Hi =) I just upgraded from 24.10.2 to 24.10.3 last week, and I just found a change of behavior of the CLAPI. I think I’m “stretching” the use of the CLAPI and maybe I’m not following best practices, so feel free to give me feedback on how you would do those tasks When I create a new project / new VMs in an existing project, I like to check if the host already exists via this CLAPI, to only apply my “auto_checks_conf” to newcommers and not get an error message like “This host already exists”I used to check with commands like this one : centreon -u admin -p '*****' -o HOST -a show -v "{{ Hostname }}"What I used to get as a return when there were no existing hosts : id;name;alias;address;activateWhat I have now :id;name;alias;address;activateReturn code end :Here is a more complete show of what I try to do in the end (ansible, I’d understand to not have help on this part as this is not directly related to centreon) :  - name: check si host existe shell: centreon -u admin -p '*****' -o H
