Centreon MAP 4.2.0

Released July 19, 2017.

The version 4.2 adds new features and enhancements to benefit Centreon MAP administrators & view creators and corrects some instabilities in previous versions.

Note

Any desktop client can now be connected to our demo platform. Feel free to test the new features using the default profile provided by Centreon MAP.

New features

  • The geometric style can now be resized.*

  • The host’s own status now appears as a border in the geometric style.

  • You can create resources using the “Resource” object in the palette panel.

  • To prevent views from being inadvertently deleted, you can now lock them.

  • A ratio can be applied to the size of geometric objects according to their status.

  • The connection profile on the Centreon MAP server is now better managed.

  • You can now align text inside the following objects: text, output widget, shape (up/down left/right/middle).

  • Alignment options have been also included to move objects against each other (based on the first one selected).

  • You can now hide views to prevent them from being visible on the web client while creating or maintaining them.

  • The edit wizards are now only displayed when needed, saving you time when you create/maintain maps.

  • By using the Centreon “severities” function, you can choose whether an element should be included or not in the inherited status calculation (LINK).
