Centreon 21.04 Released

Centreon released Centreon 21.04.

Centreon makes it more efficient than ever to manage dynamic IT infrastructure, covering cloud technologies, traditional equipment, edge computing, and the networks that interconnect them all. The 21.04 release further augments ITOps teams efficiency with connectors that include more automation with the optimized Auto-Discovery engine, artificial intelligence and major improvements in alert management.

The Auto-Discovery engine is a key asset to ensure that 100% of the IT landscape is being constantly monitored and provide IT teams with tight control. The Auto-Discovery engine of Centreon 21.04 has been further improved to facilitate the work of operations teams when it comes to managing the system’s complexity: automatic assignment of host groups, categories, and severity.

This Auto-Discovery engine is based on a ready-to-use connector library (over 500-and counting), which contains both ready-to-use configuration templates and 287 discovery rules applicable to all types of equipment.

Centreon Auto-Discovery engine will automatically scan, detect, configure, categorize, and monitor-infrastructure domains like Amazon AWS services such as EBS, EC2, EFS, RDS; Microsoft Azure services such as Azure Automation, Elastic Pool, Event Grid, Firewall, Key Vault, Load Balancer, Public IP, ServiceBus, SignalR; Google Cloud Compute services such as CloudSQL, Engine, Storage; Kubernetes clusters, VmWare clusters, Nutanix servers; SD-WAN such as Versa Director, Cisco Meraki, VmWare VeloCloud; WiFi Networks such as Aruba.

Anomaly Detection relies on artificial intelligence and machine learning to alert on unusual, dysfunctional behavior, bypassing the habitual thresholds. Based on the Centreon Cloud to implement the resource-intensive machine learning algorithms and thus preserve the supervision servers, this new architecture combines Centreon’s unrivalled monitoring capacity with the cloud’s limitless computing power. Centreon monitoring servers naturally integrate with the Centreon Cloud Platform to add power when needed if needed.

When it comes to knowing which metric Anomaly Detection should be applied to, Centreon also provides the answer. Centreon 21.04 comes with an Auto-Suggestion feature which role is to automatically suggest a list of relevant metrics on which to apply Anomaly Detection. All Centreon Business Edition customers can now access this feature.

According to Auvik's 2025 IT Trends Report, 60% of IT professionals feel at least moderately burned out on the job, with 43% stating that their workload is contributing to work stress. At the same time, many IT professionals are naming AI and machine learning as key areas they'd most like to upskill ...

Businesses that face downtime or outages risk financial and reputational damage, as well as reducing partner, shareholder, and customer trust. One of the major challenges that enterprises face is implementing a robust business continuity plan. What's the solution? The answer may lie in disaster recovery tactics such as truly immutable storage and regular disaster recovery testing ...

IT spending is expected to jump nearly 10% in 2025, and organizations are now facing pressure to manage costs without slowing down critical functions like observability. To meet the challenge, leaders are turning to smarter, more cost effective business strategies. Enter stage right: OpenTelemetry, the missing piece of the puzzle that is no longer just an option but rather a strategic advantage ...

Amidst the threat of cyberhacks and data breaches, companies install several security measures to keep their business safely afloat. These measures aim to protect businesses, employees, and crucial data. Yet, employees perceive them as burdensome. Frustrated with complex logins, slow access, and constant security checks, workers decide to completely bypass all security set-ups ...

In 2025, enterprise workflows are undergoing a seismic shift. Propelled by breakthroughs in generative AI (GenAI), large language models (LLMs), and natural language processing (NLP), a new paradigm is emerging — agentic AI. This technology is not just automating tasks; it's reimagining how organizations make decisions, engage customers, and operate at scale ...

In the early days of the cloud revolution, business leaders perceived cloud services as a means of sidelining IT organizations. IT was too slow, too expensive, or incapable of supporting new technologies. With a team of developers, line of business managers could deploy new applications and services in the cloud. IT has been fighting to retake control ever since. Today, IT is back in the driver's seat, according to new research by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) ...

In today's fast-paced and increasingly complex network environments, Network Operations Centers (NOCs) are the backbone of ensuring continuous uptime, smooth service delivery, and rapid issue resolution. However, the challenges faced by NOC teams are only growing. In a recent study, 78% state network complexity has grown significantly over the last few years while 84% regularly learn about network issues from users. It is imperative we adopt a new approach to managing today's network experiences ...
