  • central server,
  • database server.

Update extensions

At the end of the update, the configuration should be deployed from the central server.

Update the Pollers

    dnf clean all --enablerepo=*
  2. Then upgrade all the components with the following command:

    dnf update centreon\* --exclude=centreon-plugin*

Accept the new GPG keys from the repositories as needed.

  1. Deploy the Poller's configuration from the Centreon web UI by following this procedure, and choose the Restart method for the Engine process.

  2. Finally, restart the Gorgone service if it is used on the Poller:

    systemctl restart centengine gorgoned
  3. Run the following command:

Nothing to do for this OS.

Unattended update

You can perform an unattended update of your platform using the unattended.sh script.

  1. Download the script using the following command:
curl -L https://download.centreon.com/24.04/unattended.sh -O /tmp/unattended
  1. Run the script:
  • For a central server:
bash unattended.sh update -t central -v 24.04 -r stable -s -p<my_admin_password> -l DEBUG  2>&1 |tee -a /tmp/unattended-$(date +"%m-%d-%Y-%H%M%S").log
  • For a remote server:
bash unattended.sh update -t central -v 24.04 -r stable -s -p<my_admin_password> -l DEBUG  2>&1 |tee -a /tmp/unattended-$(date +"%m-%d-%Y-%H%M%S").log
  • For a poller:
bash unattended.sh update -t poller -v 24.04 -r stable -l DEBUG  2>&1 |tee -a /tmp/unattended-$(date +"%m-%d-%Y-%H%M%S").log
