We were recently discussing the advantage of instant IT monitoring through ready to use integration packages, or connectors. Here’s a list of the range of connector types you can use to monitor your full IT estate instantly. Centreon currently offers you 400+ connectors and prepackaged templates that cover the most popular IT domains. Even better, you can use these connectors for free with the Centreon IT Edition trial version when you monitor 100 hosts or less.
So let’s take a look at that connector library. As a bonus, we’ll also be providing tips for more automation and ease of use in your IT monitoring.
-
Applications
Enable instant monitoring for web servers, application servers, emails servers, job schedulers to your CRM, ERP or popular applications such as Slack and Skype, up to user performance monitoring solutions like Accedian or Maltem.

Cloud
IT Central Station users rated Centreon #1 for cloud monitoring for a reason. Enterprise cloud service managers use our extensive ready-to-use integration library to get visibility of all cloud assets in one place using the prepackaged templates.

Networks
With the transformational digital journey in full swing, network monitoring is more than ever a critical IT process. There’s a constant ebb and flow of networking components like routers, switches, firewalls, servers, and VMs that are added or removed from action. Connectors allow you to be truly proactive in getting the exact picture of your estate. No less than 112 connectors are currently available including brand names like Alcatel, Cisco, Citrix, Digi, Fortinet, HP, Huawei, Juniper, Oracle, for example, covering a full range of equipment such as routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, etc.

Database problems can disrupt user experiences even before you notice something’s amiss. Monitor all your DB assets using Centreon connectors for MySQL/MariaDB, ElasticSearch, MS SQL Server, Oracle, Firebird, Informix, PostgreSQL, Sybase, and more.

Hardware and servers
Several vendors and a range of servers are featured in our catalog, including Dell, HP, IBM, Sun, etc. Monitoring plugin packages combine different templates to monitor a range of servers from a given vendor.
