Introduction
Prepare your Centreon installation: check compatibility, choose an architecture, review the prerequisites, then install your platform from packages.
Compatibility
Check which web browsers, screen resolutions, operating systems and DBMS versions Centreon supports before you install or upgrade your monitoring platform.
Architectures
Compare Centreon architectures (standalone central server, distributed with pollers and remote servers, remote DBMS) and choose one that fits your volume.
Inside Centreon
Understand the internal components of a Centreon platform (Engine, cbmod, Broker, Gorgone, databases, RRD files, web server) and how they work together.
Prerequisites
Size your Centreon platform: estimate the CPU, RAM and storage needed for central, database and poller servers based on the number of monitored services.
Technical information
Reference tables of network flows for Centreon central servers, remote servers and pollers, plus the users, groups and software dependencies they rely on.
Download
Download Centreon as RPM or DEB packages (recommended), as a ready-to-use virtual machine in OVA or OVF format, or as source archives.
