Architecture of Centreon Cloud

Centreon Cloud consists mainly of a SaaS platform provided by Centreon, and pollers that you install in your infrastructure. In addition, the Centreon CIAM module allows you to manage organizations and users, and to log in to Centreon Cloud.

SaaS platform​

  • The SaaS platform is provided to you by Centreon, ready to use.
  • The SaaS platform does not monitor resources in your infrastructure (the pollers do).
  • The SaaS platform has a user interface, in which you can see the resources monitored by all pollers.
  • You can reach the user interface from anywhere, using a web browser, at <organization>.<region>.centreon.cloud.
  • The SaaS platform is hosted in the cloud.
  • Centreon installs and upgrades your SaaS platform.

One or more pollers​

  • Pollers monitor resources in your infrastructure. They should be in the same network as the resources they will monitor.
  • Pollers do not have an individual user interface (you see the pollers' activity on the SaaS platform's user interface).
  • Pollers are part of your infrastructure, which means better security, latency and bandwidth.
  • You install your pollers using a simple script.
  • The communication between the central and the pollers uses HTTPS.

Centreon CIAM​

  • The CIAM has a user interface that is separate from the SaaS platform's.
  • Before you can use Centreon Cloud, you need to configure your organization in the CIAM, and invite your users to your platform.
