Centreon has launched an open-source agent to monitor IT and operational technology (OT) environments, incorporating OpenTelemetry for application instrumentation. The Centreon Monitoring Agent enables log data collection, with future plans to include trace collection. The aim is to provide a unified observability platform that simplifies application troubleshooting and reduces costs. Centreon’s platform utilizes open-source components for data collection, normalization, and user access and can be deployed as SaaS or on-premises. The adoption of such platforms faces challenges related to cost and required skills for effective implementation.
Centreon has introduced an open-source agent that combines IT and operational technology monitoring with OpenTelemetry support, aiming to provide unified observability for IT teams.
Raphaël Chauvel emphasized the importance of a single platform that can reduce operational costs while providing comprehensive tools to monitor both applications and IT infrastructure.
The Centreon platform is built on open-source components for data collection, normalization, and access, available as both SaaS and on-premises options.
With over 250,000 contributors, Centreon's community plays a crucial role in enhancing platform capabilities, though the adoption of observability remains challenged by cost and skill gaps.
