# Centreon

***

### How do I install the Centreon plugin?

A procedure is [available here](/doc-plugins/plugins-glpi/centreon.md) to help you set up the plugin.

***

### What is the functionality of the Centreon plugin?

Centreon allows you to link your Centreon instance to GLPI via an API, so that you can keep an eye on the equipment in your infrastructure.

***

### Where can we find Centreon information from the assets?

Centreon supervision has a dedicated tab in each element of the fleet. For example, for a computer, go to **`Assets`** > **`Computers`** and select the appropriate computer. In the **`Centreon`** tab, the supervision of the computer will appear:

***

### Can I run a live check to get refined information?

Yes. For example, for a computer, go to **`Assets`** > **`Computers`** and select the computer you want. In the **`Centreon`** tab, click on **`Check`** to perform a new on-demand check.

***

### Can I obtain information directly from the global (or custom) view?

Yes. You can add information about the status of the equipment (available or not). Other information is not yet visible in this view.

***

### Can I see supervision information on a dashboard?

No. At present, this is not possible.

***

### Connection fails when registering API

You may get a message `Client error: POST http://mon_URL/centreon/api/login resulted in a 404 Not Found`. This message usually appears when the API URL is incorrect. Remember to check :

* The URL of your API (which should look like <https://mon\\_URL:443/centreon/api/latest/> or <https://mon\\_URL:443/centreon/api/vxx.xx/>)
* That the version of your Centreon appears in your URL, check that an update has not been made and update the URL of your API if necessary.
* That your Centreon can be reached
* That the listening port is the right one

You can refer to the official [Centreon](https://docs.centreon.com/docs/api/rest-api-v1/) documentation if necessary.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.glpi-project.org/faq/plugins/centreon.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
