Advanced configuration in MAP

This chapter describes advanced procedures for configuring your Centreon MAP system.

Monitoring your Centreon MAP server after installation

Centreon provides a Monitoring Connector and a plugin to monitor your Centreon MAP server.

Configure your services

Access your Centreon Web interface. Go to Configuration > Host > Add.

Fill in the basic information about your host and add the following host templates:

  • OS-Linux-SNMP-custom
  • App-Jvm-Centreon-Map-Engine-custom

To monitor centreon-map JVM, please use following macro values:

NameValue
ACTUATORCUSTOMMODEcentreonmap
ACTUATORAPIURLPATH/centreon-map/api/beta
ACTUATORAPIUSERNAMEApi username must be set
ACTUATORAPIPASSWORDApi password must be set

Remember to check the "Create Services linked to the Template too" checkbox.

You can now export your configuration, and your Centreon MAP server will be monitored.

You can also simply check by accessing the following URL, which tells you whether or not the server is up:

http://<MAP_IP>:8080/centreon-map/api/beta/actuator/health.

Change the Centreon MAP server's port

Mistakes when editing configuration files can lead to malfunctions of the software. We recommend that you make a backup of the file before editing it and that you only change the settings advised by Centreon.

By default, the Centreon MAP server is listening and sending information through the port 8080. If you set the SSL (see HTTPS/TLS Configuration), use port 8443.

You can change this port (e.g., if you have a firewall on your network blocking these ports).

On your Centreon MAP server, stop the centreon-map service:

systemctl stop centreon-map

Edit the map-config.properties settings file located in /etc/centreon-map:

vi /etc/centreon-map/map-config.properties

Add the following line in the MAP SERVER section:

centreon-map.port=XXXX

Replace XXXX with the port you want.

Then restart the Centreon MAP server:

systemctl start centreon-map

Wait for the Centreon MAP service to start completely (~30 sec to 1 minute).

Test that your server is up and accessible on the new port you defined by entering the following URL in your web browser:

http://<MAP_IP>:<NEW_PORT>/centreon-map/api/beta/actuator/health
