Observability shouldn't be a luxury
Business performance and IT performance can no longer be told apart. Innovation, customer experience and efficient processes all rest on a digital environment that never stops, stretches from the datacenter to the cloud, and that AI makes more fluid by the day.
Seeing what happens is no longer enough: you have to understand why. Centreon brings infrastructure, cloud, network, logs, traces and user experience together on a single observability platform, where teams used to stack disconnected tools. Our mission: make that observability simple to deploy, to run and to afford, so every IT organization can have it, not just the largest.
Open source, our engine for innovation and growth
Open source is not a legacy we maintain, it is how Centreon moves forward. Open code and open standards keep IT teams out of proprietary lock-in and the bill that comes with it. And a community that contributes, tests and extends the platform every day takes it further, across far more technologies, than any single vendor could on its own.

Our values
Take responsibility
When critical infrastructure falters, ours is the screen people look at first. Thousands of organizations count on it, and we don't take that lightly.
How we support themTeamwork for success
Technology is only worth the people behind it. Employees, customers, partners, contributors: everything Centreon builds gets built together.

Our commitments
A vendor that monitors critical infrastructure carries responsibilities well beyond its product. Ours are public, and made to third-party organizations.

Cut the footprint of digital services, starting by measuring it
You only reduce what you measure. Centreon measures the environmental footprint of the digital services it monitors, and holds its own operations to the commitments it made to the UN Global Compact and Planet Tech’Care.
- Equality
Gender equality, written down rather than assumed
Centreon adheres to the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles: seven principles that commit a company on hiring, pay, training and representation in leadership roles.
- Diversity
Hire and grow people without implicit filters
As a signatory of the Diversity Charter, Centreon commits to preventing discrimination and to building teams that reflect the society it operates in.
