Fellow watchers, I'm very excited to announce this new release! It's particular because it happens next to another one: our next major release, Centreon 22.04!
Without spoiling anything, we adopt a new release numbering which comes with something more significant. You will have all your Packs to update because the version is now sticking to this format:
- YY.MM.BUGFIX
I want to welcome the latest 22.05.0 Plugin Packs release!
Newcomers

Azure Database for MariaDB: the monitoring of Azure PaaS deployments for MariaDB and their specific metrics is now available. Discovery is included as for all our cloud-dedicated packs.
-
NtopNG RestAPI: use this pack to combine two leading open source players. Thus, you centralize alert visualization and metrology relating to network flows in the Centreon interface. You can also ensure that NtopNG probes are operational and working optimally.
-
Protocol CIFS & SFTP: highly awaited and requested, these two protocols offer the possibility to perform multiple actions through the CIFS/Samba and SFTP protocols. Advanced needs? You can build complex scenarios to be sure to reflect the actions of your users or applications.

Kadiska Rest API: As our working methods are evolving towards more mobility and home working, monitoring the performance of SaaS applications is becoming a real challenge. Use Kadiska and Centreon to have an exhaustive understanding of the users experience and combine the two tools to respond faster to issues.
Enhancements

IP Fabric: technology alignment is now supported. No more need for manual action , IP Fabric detects device models and families, and Centreon auto-discovery recommends the best available templates.

Important! Some improvements bring significant updates on some Centreon Plugin Pack and introduce breaking changes.

AWS ELB: because the same network load balancer may be available in multiple AWS regions, we have revised the uniqueness criteria for identifying a Network Load Balancer. The Pack update will require you to re-create your discovery rules with the new Pack version. Good news, to make up for it, we've added a host and service discovery rule that will make your life easier!
