Introduction to Centreon MAP

Centreon MAP is a solution fully available in the Centreon web interface while offering you the best possible experience in creating, visualizing and sharing graphical representations of your monitored infrastructure.

The difference with the MAP (Legacy) version is that MAP provides you with an edition tool fully embedded in the web interface. You do not need to install anything on your desktop. You can navigate easily between the edition mode and the view mode.

Centreon MAP is a Centreon extension that requires a valid license. To purchase one and retrieve the necessary repositories, contact Centreon.

If you already used the MAP (Legacy) version, note that you can easily import your legacy maps into the MAP interface.

See how to manage views using the Centreon MAP REST API here.

Overview

You need first to create your logical views using the MAP editor:

Your maps can be displayed in two ways in the interface:

• In the Monitoring > Map page, in view mode.
• In the Home > Custom Views page, using a dedicated MAP widget.
