Every month, Centreon extends its monitoring connector catalog and implements new connectors, allowing you to connect your IT monitoring with always more ITOps tools. 

The result: increased visibility and business observability capabilities. We also offer enhancements and fixes on existing connectors.

For October 2025, we’re introducing one new monitoring connector, multiple improvements, and a few fixes on existing ones.  

Many of these improvements are a direct result of the valuable suggestions and ideas from our community members. We thank Watchers for their significant contribution to the continuous evolution of our software. 

You may also read the related documentation, contact our sales team, or post a message on The Watch to learn more.

Reminder:  Plugin Packs have been renamed. We are now referring to them as monitoring connectors.

One new monitoring connector to discover this month.

Microsoft WSUS CMA monitoring connector card, marked Stable, new in the Centreon catalog in October 2025

Microsoft WSUS CMA

Microsoft WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) is a role service integrated into Windows Server that allows IT administrators to manage the distribution of updates for Microsoft products on workstations and servers within an enterprise network. As part of the Centreon Agent monitoring campaign, we offer the new Microsoft WSUS CMA monitoring connector. It covers the same monitoring scope as the Microsoft WSUS Server connector already available in our catalog. This includes monitoring the status of computers, WSUS server statistics, the status of update synchronization with the WSUS server, and the status of updates.
