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

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?

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

Hello,We’ve encountered a recurring issue when querying service macros via the Rest API (v1) (getmacro action). Some macro names are returned truncated or corrupted, it’s random.I can recreate macro, and it’s working but not for longtime.For example, instead of returning:{ "macro name": "TICKET_ID", "macro value": "12345678" } We sometimes receive:   {      "macro name": "ITICAL",      "macro value": "350",      "is_password": "",      "description": "OPTIONNEL - Seuil mémoire en MB",      "source": "App-SS-Process-Memory\nTI"    },    {      "macro name": "KET_ID",      "macro value": "",      "is_password": "",      "description": "",      "source": "generic-active-service-custom\nSE"    }, I have many MACRO on sercice, and i have this problem on differents servicses.  The call is :{ "action": "getmacro", "object": "service", "values": "HOSTNAME;SERVICENAME"}

Problem plugin vmware

Hi I have had a problem with centreon updates for some time. My version is 24.10.8. The problem is in the vmware infrastructure monitoring plugin. Previously (based on the centreon_vmware.pm file) everything worked fine. After updates (from several versions within 24.10) the centreon_vmware service does not want to start. When I change the option to old in the /etc/default/centreon_vmware file and restore the centreon_vmware.pm file, everything returns to normal.Here is the configuration and logs after updates (the last one to 24.10.8), which do not work well.My instance: Centreon 24.10.8, Debian 12. $ ls -lrazem 44-rw-rw---- 1 www-data www-data 1287 2018-10-17 centreon.conf.php-rw-r----- 1 centreon centreon 390 06-24 08:25 centreontrapd.pm-rw-rw-r-- 1 centreon centreon 390 2024-05-16 centreontrapd.pm.dpkg-dist-rw-rw---- 1 centreon-gorgone centreon 626 06-24 08:24 centreon_vmware.json-rw-r--r-- 1 centreon centreon 812 03-28 09:37 centreon_vmware.pm

Graph time shift by an hour TZ America/Mexico_City

Hello, i’m wondering if i missconfigured a centreon. It is based at Mexico city and by so is configured on the America/Mexico_City timezone.I’m working on the version 23.10 of Centreon.This timezone is setup in the PHP configuration, in the global configuration of the instance, and configured as the timezone of the user.As i watch the graphs of my services in the resource tab, i see the data at the proper times but when i look into legacy screens or through custom views, the data is an hour late.Maybe i missed a configuration somewhere ? but it seems it’s only on that timezone. I read online that Mexico removed their summer time shift, so maybe it is related.Has anyone faced this kind of issue ?
