Architecture of Centreon Cloud

Centreon Cloud consists of the following elements:

• A central server:

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

• One or more pollers:

  • Pollers monitor resources in your infrastructure.
  • Pollers do not have a user interface (you see the pollers' activity on the central server's interface).
  • Pollers are part of your infrastructure, which means better security, latency and bandwidth.
  • You install your pollers using a simple script.
  • A VPN connects your pollers with the central server.
