I evaluated it when it was Oreon 4 years ago and it was horrid then, difficult to install, unpredictable and had very little English information available. Looks like it has come a long way. Is the English conversant community as large as the French now? Has anyone compared Centreon to Groundwork Open Source? We are currently using the Groundwork community edition and have considered going to the Professional edition to gain log processing based alerts and dashboards. I know Centreon has a dashboard, but I don't know if it's static or customizable and I don't see any indication Centreon has the ability to monitor and process log information. Groundwork is quite pricey for what they offer, has its share of bugs, and frankly doesn't present information as well as Centreon from what I can see in its screenshots. The Groundwork status/action screens are NOT an improvement over base Nagios.
