March 2026 delivered notable feature and reliability improvements across centreon-plugins: expanded monitoring capabilities, REST API integrations, and platform coverage for backup, cloud, network, and OS metrics. Key features include a new Veeam VOne REST API Pack (CTOR-1267) with two commits, and added Veeam REST API support for Veeam 13. OS/Linux process-mode enhancements enable max open file checks and per-process monitoring. Additional coverage was added with a Cloud Linux Libvirt local plugin and Cloud AWS API Gateway dimension configurability. In parallel, maintenance and QA improvements fixed token refresh flows and lockfile handling for CommVault CommServe REST API, modernized SNMP regex, and improved safety around sudoers and Redis/ILO thresholds. These contributions collectively expand monitoring scope, improve automation reliability, and reduce operational risk across on-premises and cloud environments.
