Every month, Centreon extends its connector catalog (a.k.a. monitoring packs or Plugin Packs) and implements new ones, allowing you to connect your IT monitoring with more ITOps tools. The result: increased visibility and business observability capabilities. We also offer enhancements and fixes on existing connectors.

5 New monitoring connectors

There are five new monitoring packs to discover this month.

  1. Azure Policies States: Use this connector to monitor the compliance status of Azure policies.
  2. Control-M Rest API: Use this new pack to monitor jobs in the Control-M job scheduler using the REST API.
  3. Riello UPS SNMP: Use this pack to monitor the status of the battery, alarms, power source metrics and output lines for this UPS.
  4. Oracle Universal Connection Pool: This Java-based tool allows reusing connections by caching connection objects to the database. This Plugin Pack monitors the usage of each connection pool and helps you deploy monitoring through an Auto-Discovery rule. As the name of the pack indicates, the objects are monitored using a JMX agent.
  5. Western Digital NAS: Use this connector to discover volumes and monitor their use and the status of the equipment.
