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 April 2025, we’re introducing one new monitoring connector, multiple improvements, and a few fixes on existing ones.
Many improvements stem from our community members’ suggestions and ideas. We thank Watchers for their contribution to our software’s continued evolution.
You can 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 connectors were added to the catalog this month.
Exense Step REST API
Exense Step is an open-source platform designed to orchestrate automated tests, business tasks, or technical processes. It is particularly useful in scenarios where multiple automation tools or scripts need to be coordinated in a centralized manner. The Exense Step REST API monitoring connector enables the supervision of plans. It also provides two discovery rules: one allowing the detection of all plans for individual monitoring, and the other discovering tenants in order to monitor all plans for each tenant as a single service.
