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 editing tool fully embedded in the web interface. You do not need to install anything on your desktop. You can navigate easily between the editing mode and viewing mode.

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

If you have 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

Create, customize, and view your maps within a single web interface.

First, you need to create 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.
