Since last year, Merethis has been focusing on an ambitious project: revamping Centreon and improving our products. In 2011 Merethis took a step forward and decided to fork Nagios and create Centreon Engine and Centreon Broker. Those two new projects are here to stay to strengthen Centreon especially improving its performance. Centreon Engine and Centreon Broker let us now go even further in software architecture, as they will evolve, new features will rise such as high availability and event management.

Centreon GUI is also ready to evolve. Users will soon be able to experiment the new “face” of Centreon, more ergonomic, more interactive and customizable. We are doing our best to bring you a new piece of software as easy to use as one can expect. GUI revamping is not all about display, we are currently working on brand new GUI to address specific needs and create tools such as a hypervisor, a dashboard and address metrology needs.

Dear Centreon’s users,

We've just finished upgrading, testing, bugfixing and packging the latest version of Centreon. We are pleased with the new features and enhancements this release brings.

The new Centreon 2.3 version includes new interesting features such as better downtime management (you can now set up periodic downtime and expected downtime don’t alter reports), new RRD graphs styles (Gauge, Counter, Stack …) and more efficient contact management (LDAP synchronization tool, contact profile template).

You can find this version in the dowload section of Centreon Web site. The Changelog of Centreon is available from our web site.

The second day at LSM 2011 was marked by several conferences on the monitoring. Each one brought its own set of questions to the market participants present at the LSM including the Centreon Community members.

The Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre - RMLL 2011 (2011 Libre Software Meeting - LSM) is currently taking place in Strasbourg since the 9 July. The Centreon Community will be represented by contributors during the event to answer all your questions about Centreon and show you more about the novelties Centreon Enterprise Server (CES) and Centreon Engine.

Centreon 2.2.1

This version brings a few bug fixes (c.f changelog). Note that a few of you ended up with a version which displays an incorrect version of your Centreon (RC2) although it was supposed to be 2.2.0 stable, this is fixed in Centreon 2.2.1. Also, we have received reports from some contributors who noticed important performance issues due to the graph engine Centstorage and this is fixed in 2.2.1 as well. Make sure to restart Centstorage after the upgrade.

This is therefore an important bugfix version which we advise you to upgrade into.

This version is available in download from the Web site Centreon.

This fifth participation was marked by the launch of the novelties Centreon Engine and Centreon Enterprise Server, the meeting with the contributors of the project Centreon as well as the participation of our team in the Round Tables and in the Intelli'n TV interviews.

2011 Novelties,

As every year the trade show was the occasion to reveal the latest versions of the extensions of the Centreon software suite including Centreon Business Intelligence (BI), Centreon Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), Centreon Map. Numerous demonstrations were proposed. The announcement of the release of Centreon Engine and the 2.2 version of Centreon, the day before the opening of the show, created a buzz in the community but also in the community village. It is however Centreon Enterprise Serveur which held the attention during the trade show. CES, our new Linux distribution dedicated to Centreon seduced a large number of new users thanks to its simplicity of access. They have particularly appreciated the speed of execution and the ease of update offered to the persons who wish to set up a solution of supervision without full knowledge of the domain.

The French company MERETHIS, which specializes in IT monitoring tools & services and manage the Centreon software development, propose a new engine based on Nagios core.

This independent project intends to respond to Centreon and Nagios users’ requests. Changes will therefore focus on improving performance, correcting many problems raised and adding new features.

Centreon Engine 0.9 is based on monitoring concepts developed by Nagios. Also available in this first version, a series of optimizations needed for the Nagios engine Scalability. From version 1.0, Centreon Engine will bring some expected new features. More details about the roadmap will be available in a few days on the Centreon Website.

Notre équipe vous accueillera du 10 au 12 mai 2011 sur le stand D10 du salon situé cette année au CNIT - La Défense, Paris.

Les nouveautés 2011,

Les toutes dernières versions de la suite logicielle Centreon incluant Centreon Business Intelligence (BI), Centreon Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), Centreom Map ainsi que le tout nouveau Centreon Entreprise Server seront présentés et disponibles en démonstration pendant toute la durée du salon. www.centreon.com

Notice to the community!



We are pleased to announce the release of Centreon version 2.2 RC 2. The changeLog of Centreon is available from our web site. A few more bugfixes and corrections and the stable will be soon available. You can find this RC version in the download section of Centreon Web site. 


Centreon Map is an advanced cartography tool that allows you to present Centreon indicators with easily-understood views. Thanks to the « drill-down » navigation, users can create personalised views with no restrictions on the death of the drill-down. The most important statuses for monitored components are displayed in real time through a variety of tailor-made views specific to the needs of each individual user : business, functional, technical, or topological focus as the case may be. Creating views is a simple task indeed using drag-an-drop techniques on the resources configured within Centreon. Views are automatically synchronised and updated with the data collected by Centreon and Nagios.

Centreon Map is now available in the version 3.1.0. This new version brings improvements on acknowledgement and downtime as well as partial compatibility with Centreon Broker.

We recommend you upgrade to this latest version of Centreon map.
