Understanding metrics
What is a metric?
Monitoring Connectors
As of April 2023, we're changing the name of some Centreon objects and attributes. "Monitoring Connectors" becomes the new name for Plugin Packs. We're making this change because users were often confused between two similar terms, Plugins and Plugin Packs, sometimes using one for the other. We're only changing the name! The functionalities and capabilities stay the same.
Deploying a configuration
When you create, delete or edit objects in the Configuration menu, changes are not applied automatically (neither on the central server on which you have made the change, nor on any remote server or poller linked to it). For the changes to be taken into account, you have to export the configuration.
