Installation

Most Open Source modules can be downloaded from the forge.

Setup

Modules packages (.tgz) are to be unpackaged in the centreon/www/modules directory:

[root@localhost modules]# ll
total 36
drwxr-xr-x  7 apache apache 4096 Nov 16 14:34 centreon-clapi
drwxr-xr-x 12 apache apache 4096 Apr 17  2012 Syslog

Then, you need to log in the Centreon web UI and go to [Administration] > [Modules] > [Modules] > [Setup]

../../_images/install.png

At last, click on the Install button:

../../_images/install_btn.png

After confirming the installation, your module is ready to be used!

Upgrade

The upgrade process is similar to the installation process, but you will see the upgrade button instead:

../../_images/upgrade_btn.png

Uninstallation

To uninstall a module, click on this button:

../../_images/uninstall_btn.png

Warning

Centreon does not have control over the uninstallation process of a module. However, data will probably get erased during this process, we suggest you make a backup before proceeding.
