Using a generated command (virtual or physical machine)

The following feature is in beta.

A tailored command for installing a poller on a virtual or physical machine can be generated from the central server interface.

Prerequisites

• The machine on which you will install the poller must fulfill the poller installation prerequisites.
• You must have created a poller-type authentication token.
• On the central server, Gorgone's pullwss module must be configured to accept incoming connections. You only need to do this once, before installing your first poller using a command provided by the interface (whether it is installed on a physical machine, a VM, or a container).

Step 1: generate the installation command

1. In the interface of the central server, click the Pollers area at the top left. Then, click on Create new poller.

   

2. Fill in the form with your poller's information:

   • Poller name: a unique name for this poller. It will appear in the list of pollers.
   • Poller address: the address of the host machine where you are going to install the poller.

     The Poller address does not affect connectivity: Gorgone uses PullWSS, so the poller always initiates the connection to the central server, not the other way around.

   • Centreon Central address, as seen by this poller: the URL this poller uses to reach the central server, e.g. http(s)://10.10.10.10/centreon. If your central server is configured in HTTPS, the connection between the central server and the poller will be automatically configured in HTTPS too.

3. Select VM or physical as the poller's environment.

4. Select the authentication token you have created for this poller.

5. In the Generate installation command section, click the button and wait for the command to be generated.

6. Copy the command using the button at the top right of the code block and execute it on your host machine.

7. Click Export configuration. The poller appears in the list of pollers.
