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 December 2025, we’re introducing four new monitoring connectors, 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 The Watch 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.
Four new monitoring connectors to discover this month.
Cato Networks API
Cato Networks offers the Cato SASE Cloud platform (Secure Access Service Edge), which converges SD-WAN, advanced security (firewall, ZTNA, SWG, anti-malware), private global backbone, and remote access into a unified service. The Cato Networks API connector was a The Watch idea and enables monitoring of events and site connectivity (a site discovery rule is available), as well as executing queries and using the results to define alarm thresholds.
Microsoft Cluster Server CMA
Microsoft Cluster Server allows multiple servers to work together in a cluster in order to ensure service continuity for critical applications in the event of a node failure (failover). As part of the Centreon Monitoring Agent (CMA) campaign, we are introducing the new Microsoft Cluster Server CMA monitoring connector. It covers the same monitoring scope as the existing Microsoft Cluster Server NSClient++ NRP connector already available in our catalog. This includes monitoring the network status of the cluster, the status of the cluster nodes, the status of the cluster resources, and the status of the cluster resource groups.
Nvidia (formerly Mellanox) SNMP
Mellanox designs networking products that are widely used in data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), the cloud, and latency-sensitive financial infrastructures. The Nvidia (formerly Mellanox) SNMP monitoring connector comes from a community contribution (PR 5753). With it, you can monitor CPU, sensors, uptime, interfaces, the status of the Spanning Tree protocol on interfaces, TCP connections, and UDP connections. This connector comes with several discovery rules.
OpenStack RESTAPI
OpenStack is an open source cloud platform that lets you build and manage private or public clouds from pools of compute, storage, and network resources within a datacenter. The OpenStack REST API monitoring connector allows you to monitor OpenStack services (Cinder, Glance, Horizon, Keystone, Neutron, and Nova), the hypervisor, VMs, network, ports, and volumes. This connector covers many other services, particularly through numerous discovery rules.
