I don't know Centreon, but in a nagios core install I would expect the
.cgi should read the nagios.cfg file to determine the location of
status.dat.  I would add the directive
status_file=/var/lib/nagios3/status.dat anyway and see if that helps
the .cgi to find the status file.

(in a default Nagios core install) Your cgi.cfg file should point to
the location of nagios.cfg like so:
  # MAIN CONFIGURATION FILE
  # This tells the CGIs where to find your main configuration file.
  # The CGIs will read the main and host config files for any other
  # data they might need.
  main_config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg


I would raise this on the relevant Centreon forum as I would guess
you're more likely to find people there who understand the
peculiarities of Centreon's implementation of nagios.  Some of the
newer front-ends don't use status.dat to get status information from
Nagios - I wouldn't know if Centreon is one of those.
