Enhancements

Dashboards GA

  • Improvements made on global Dashboards behavior

    • When sharing a dashboard, only contacts and contact groups that have access to the dashboard are displayed.
    • Optimized the rendering of widgets.
    • Optimized legend and thickened curves on graphs.
    • Moved the parameter used for hiding widgets' descriptions.
    • Updated the dashboard global refresh icon.
    • Widgets can now be edited quickly and easily by using an "Edit widget" shortcut that opens widget edition mode.
    • Made the dashboard library's "view as list" the default view.
    • Reorganized rich text options for widget descriptions.

  • Improvements made to specific widgets.

    • [MAP widget] Added an information message displayed when editing the widget.
    • [Metrics Graph widget] Added a warning message indicating that thresholds have been hidden when selecting two different metric units.

Centreon Collect​

24.04.6​

Release date: September 26, 2024

Bug fixes
  • [Broker] When no filter is configured on a Broker output, a default filter is applied so as to avoid Broker crashing.
  • [CMA] Binary file for Centreon Monitoring Agent on Windows (Beta).
  • [Engine] Engine now waits until no thread uses a gRPC service before deleting the service.
  • [Engine] When Engine's configuration is modified, already sent events are no longer sent a second time.
  • [Engine] Fixed the following issue: when Engine was restarted, its log file wasn't reopened, so if it was moved or removed, it wasn't created again.

24.04.5​

Release date: August 05, 2024

Bug fixes
  • Fixed a conflict between centreon-collect 23.04 and centreon-collect 23.10 that was occurring because of a change in the way we provide the MariaDB caching sha2 password plugin.

24.04.4​

Release date: July 29, 2024

Bug fixes
  • [Broker] If a service status was not 0, 1 or 2, it was written in RRD as an empty value. This raised an error in librrd. Now we send 'U' to RRD, which is a value that librrd accepts.
  • [Broker] The default log level for Broker is now error instead of info (except for the core and config logs, which are info).
  • [Engine] The default log level for Engine is now error instead of info (except for the core and config logs, which are info).
  • [Engine] The output of external commands is no longer truncated after a backslash.
  • [Engine] Configuration files for Anomaly Detection are now opened in read-only mode.
  • [Engine] All log file configurations are now taken into account (including runtime and otl).
  • [Engine] If a service contained several metrics with the same name, some of them were overwritten. Now during the parsing, a warning log explains the issue and only the first occurrence of the metric is kept.

24.04.3​

Release date: July 17, 2024

Bug fixes
  • [Broker] Fixed an issue that occurred when inserting too large metrics into the database, which resulted in an error log.
  • [Broker] There were two errors concerning the gnutls version check:
  1. The gnutls library on Centreon had to be at least the same version as the one used to compile Broker. Now, Broker checks that the version of the gnutls library is at least 3.6.0.
  2. The packaging required a very old version of gnutls. Now, when Broker is installed we check that the version of gnutls is at least 3.6.0. If the version is older, it will be updated.
  • [Broker] Added support for the default connection method to MySQL 8.0.35.

24.04.2​

Release date: June 17, 2024

Enhancements
  • [Engine] Added a new centengine parameter (send_recovery_notifications_anyways) to force sending a recovery notification even when the resource is outside of its notification period. This aims at keeping third-party tools up-to-date at any time when they are fed notifications.
  • [Engine] The whitelist works with all the commands executed by Engine.
  • [Engine] Engine can now handle extra configuration files to complement/overload the centengine.cfg file. This enhancement allows you to keep a custom configuration unchanged when exporting the configuration.
Bug fixes
  • [Broker] Fixed an issue where incomplete BAM queries resulted in unnecessary error messages.
  • [Broker] Fixed an issue where grpc layers crashed if a channel was deleted by a grpc thread.
  • [Broker] Fixed a stability issue that could occur when an LVM snapshot was launched to backup the database.

24.04.1​

Release date: May 28, 2024

Bug fixes
  • [Packaging] Fixed an issue with permissions on Engine and Broker files.

24.04.0​

Release date: April 30, 2024

Bug fixes
  • Fixed some incorrect statuses in Broker's statistics retrieved by the broker-stats.json file.
  • [Packaging] Added symbolic link from /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins.
  • Semicolons are no longer considered as the beginning of a comment in Engine's configuration files. This is because comments were not useful in these files, and they prevented the use of semicolons in macros (e.g., passwords).

24.04.2​
