Centreon, announces the general availability of the Centreon Monitoring Agent. This new open-source, multiplatform agent is provided with a dedicated user interface simplifying platform administration. The agent supports passive monitoring, as well as modern, hybrid and ephemeral infrastructures.
Agent-based Monitoring: A must in modern environments
From containers, native clouds, short lifecycles to scalable services: modern infrastructures are evolving at an increasingly rapid pace. Using monitoring agents is essential to ensure optimal visibility into such dynamic environments, which demand a high level of flexibility, frequent data collection, and automation.
Centreon Monitoring Agent: Supporting customers in their transformation
Centreon introduces its monitoring agent in the context of the continued digital transformation of its customers. The agent is installed directly on the components to be monitored. This so-called passive monitoring mode complements the existing active approach.
The result is that Centreon monitoring is more flexible and quicker to deploy. The Centreon Monitoring Agent is fully secure, easy to configure across platforms, with unified administration on Linux and Windows, and supports Cloud or DMZ architectures. The primary benefit of the Centreon Monitoring Agent is that it simplifies configuration for ephemeral infrastructure and automates the monitoring of new components.
Beyond traditional metrics, observability
With its new monitoring agent, Centreon is further expanding its adoption of the OpenTelemetry framework. This unmatched open-source framework has become a staple in the observability market. Above all, the commitment to OpenTelemetry aligns with Centreon’s open-source DNA.
The open standard will eventually enable Centreon to go beyond traditional metrics, and ensure the unified collection of logs, traces, and events, paving the way for enhanced observability and a deeper understanding of application behavior. Thanks to the OTLP protocol, the Centreon Monitoring Agent ensures native interoperability with other systems and is fully integrated into the modern open-source ecosystem.
Close collaboration with the Centreon community
The development of the new Centreon Monitoring Agent was informed by feedback from over a hundred of The Watch community members participating to a dedicated beta program, as well as ongoing interactions with users. Through engaging its community, Centreon provides a solution tailored to users’ expectations.
The Centreon Monitoring Agent benefits from a lifecycle independent of Centreon versioning, meaning it will not require a Centreon upgrade. Scheduled for release in July 2025, it will be accessible to all, regardless of the Centreon edition they are using (Open-Source, IT Edition, Business Edition, MSP Edition) or the deployment mode (Self-Hosted and SaaS for Centreon Cloud).
