Month: 2025-08 — Centreon project focused on security hardening and reliability for centreon/centreon-collect. Delivered a targeted security fix with accompanying test coverage, improving cryptographic compliance and reducing deployment risk.

July 2025: Delivered targeted feature and robustness improvements in centreon/centreon-collect. Key items include expanding time period configuration capacity, preventing broker crashes during engine disconnects, enforcing fatal errors for unknown DB statements, and cleansing the test suite—driving stability, data integrity, and faster remediation in production.

June 2025 performance summary highlighting concrete deliveries, stability improvements, and cross-repo technical leadership that align with business value goals. Delivered documentation accuracy fixes, expanded host-group capabilities, and CI/CD enhancements; upgraded build/test infrastructure; and enhanced runtime robustness and configurability to improve deployment reliability and developer efficiency.

May 2025: Two major initiatives in centreon-collect delivering reliability and modernization. Key features delivered: (1) Broker Engine Test Case Stabilization: Refactored the EBMSSMPART tests, added database connection and validation steps, and refined processing/verification of service checks and metric writes after partition events to boost test robustness. Commit 133bea218944b4368fbd27160f04a5d038091f0b (fix(tests): bulk services robot test fixed (#2361)). (2) Centreon Engine Modernization and Dependency Management: Moved the cbmod component from a module to the Engine library, updated getopt to boost::program_options, and introduced a new field for broker module configuration. Commit 223b6780d011e984872d2c0bd56162c56cff56f7 (enh(engine): cbmod is no more a module).

April 2025 — Centreon Collect: stability, data accuracy, and reliability improvements focused on business-critical metrics and engine lifecycle. Delivered two major bug fixes that enhance BA status correctness and engine shutdown reliability, improving operational risk and data confidence across the collector pipeline.

February 2025 (02/2025) – Centreon Collect: reliability and data integrity improvements for the Graphite integration and broker state management. Focused on fixing edge cases, improving observability, and expanding test coverage to ensure stable metric reporting and correct logging.

January 2025 (centreon/centreon-collect) - Focused on strengthening monitoring signals and privacy/compliance by delivering a robust flapping metrics feature and removing CEIP data collection. The work enhances operator visibility, improves data quality, and reduces unnecessary data collection footprint across the collection pipeline.

2024-12 Monthly Summary – Centreon Collect Key outcomes: - Key features delivered: Reverted incomplete flapping and percent_state_change changes in the broker module due to web-team dependency; removed SQL table columns and updated SQL queries and C++ code to restore stable, prior behavior. This reduces risk from partial feature work and simplifies ongoing maintenance. Major bugs fixed: - Broker negotiation logic: ensured broker_needs_update() is evaluated, preventing the initial configuration from always being sent; fixes the condition and stabilizes related tests. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Stabilized broker initialization and config delivery, reducing operational risk and test flakiness. Cleaned up incomplete integrations, leading to more predictable deployments and quicker issue resolution. Demonstrated disciplined code cleanup and regression readiness. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - C++ code adjustments and SQL schema cleanup, bug triage and regression testing, and cross-team coordination to align broker behavior with product expectations.

November 2024 focused on stabilizing CI, expanding broker integration, and enhancing cross-component negotiation to improve reliability, uptime, and runtime accuracy in production. The work delivers concrete business value by ensuring consistent release-time engine configuration, efficient status updates during downtimes, and richer peer information for engine-broker collaborations, while strengthening stability in the MySQL-backed broker/sql path and extending protocol capabilities.
