FAQ – Centreon Administration Training
What is Centreon used for?
Centreon is an open-source / commercial IT monitoring platform used to supervise networks, servers, applications, cloud services, and business processes from a unified interface. It builds on Nagios plugins but adds a modern web UI, autodiscovery, dashboards, and enterprise features. It’s widely deployed in French enterprises and the public sector. MFE-IT trains administrators on installing, configuring, and operating Centreon in production.
Is Centreon better than Nagios?
Centreon and Nagios share the same plugin ecosystem but differ in user experience and feature scope. Centreon offers a modern web interface, automated discovery, configuration management, and commercial enterprise modules — significantly reducing the operational overhead compared to vanilla Nagios. The MFE-IT Centreon Administration training compares both tools and shows when migrating from Nagios to Centreon makes sense.
How do you install Centreon?
Centreon installs on RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, or Debian, either from the official Centreon ISO, package repositories, or container images. The standard installation includes the central server, the web UI, the database (MariaDB), and one or more pollers for distributed monitoring. Through MFE-IT’s hands-on approach, learners install a complete Centreon stack and configure their first hosts during the training.
What is a Centreon poller?
A Centreon poller is a remote monitoring engine that executes checks on hosts and services in a specific network segment, then sends the results back to the central Centreon server. Pollers enable distributed and scalable monitoring across multiple sites, DMZs, or cloud regions. Our MFE-IT training course on Centreon Administration covers poller deployment, sizing, and high-availability patterns.
