Remote Server vs. Poller: how to monitor isolated networks with Centreon

Monitoring remote or isolated networks often comes with specific challenges: limited connectivity, strict firewall rules, and no direct communication path from the central server. In this video, Alejandro Rondon (​@arondon), Pre-Sales Engineer at Centreon, explains two common approaches to handle these environments with Centreon: Remote Servers and Pollers.

The tutorial walks through the main differences between both options, their respective advantages, and the key questions to ask when designing your architecture. It also highlights how these distributed setups can improve resilience, simplify firewall management, and support delegated monitoring for large organizations or MSP use cases.
