Install on a Remote Server

The procedure for installing the Centreon BAM module on a Centreon Remote Server is the same as on a Central server and needs additionnal action.

  1. Install the extension using the standard install procedure
  2. Follow the extra steps described below.

Step 2: Configure Centreon Broker​

Configuring the Centreon BAM module on a Centreon Remote Server requires configuring the Centreon Broker from the Centreon Central Server. This allows the Centreon Remote Server to manage calculations on Centreon BAM. The configuration will be automatically sent to the Centreon Remote Server when you export your business activities to the Centreon Remote Server from the central server.

To do so, you need to modify the Centreon Broker Master configuration of the Centeon Remote poller. Go to the Configuration > Pollers > Broker configuration menu and edit the remote poller configuration.
