Paste the content of the clipboard directly into the Poller terminal as it contains the following content, and will fill the right file:

cat <<EOF > /etc/centreon-gorgone/config.d/40-gorgoned.yaml
name:  gorgoned-My Poller
description: Configuration for poller My Poller
gorgone:
  gorgonecore:
    id: 2
    external_com_type: tcp
    external_com_path: "*:5556"
    authorized_clients:
      - key: Np1wWwpbFD2I0MdeHWRlFx51FmlYkDRZy9JTFxkrDPI
    privkey: "/var/lib/centreon-gorgone/.keys/rsakey.priv.pem"
    pubkey: "/var/lib/centreon-gorgone/.keys/rsakey.pub.pem"
  modules:
    - name: action
      package: gorgone::modules::core::action::hooks
      enable: true

    - name: engine
      package: gorgone::modules::centreon::engine::hooks
      enable: true
      command_file: "/var/lib/centreon-engine/rw/centengine.cmd"
