Steps to take (some are very specific for me and will not work for everyone):
- make sure ndo2db is working on the central poller
- install and configure nagios on a satellite
- synchronize/add plugins images and mib files on this satellitersync -avu /usr/local/nagios/libexec/360viewpoint/ nagios@{IP_ADDRESS_SATELLITE}:/usr/local/nagios/libexec/360viewpoint
 rsync -avu /usr/local/nagios/share/images/ nagios@{IP_ADDRESS_SATELLITE}:/usr/local/nagios/share/images
 rsync -avu /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ root@{IP_ADDRESS_SATELLITE}:/usr/share/snmp/mibs
- on the satellite copy the created x86 plugins from libexec to 360viewpoint directory (only when plugins copied from Centreon server are 64_x86 bit and you run on x86)
/bin/cp/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check*/usr/local/nagios/libexec/360viewpoint
 
- In Centreon add a satellite: configuration > centreon
- In Centreon add the satellite as a host and add services
- In Centreon add ndomod confg file for satellite: configuration > centreon > ndomod.cfginstance_name=poller01 
 output_type=tcpsocket

 file_rotation_interval=14400
 file_rotation_timeout=60
 reconnect_interval=15
 reconnect_warning_interval=900
 data_processing_options=-1
 config_output_options=3
- On Centreon make sure file /var/lib/centreon/centreon.cmd is writable by nagios and apache:
chown nagios:nagcmd /var/lib/centreon
- On Centreon generate ssh key file:
 
 su - nagios
 ssh-keygen
 ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub nagios@{IP_ADDRESS_SATELLITE}
 ssh {IP_ADDRESS}
 exit
 exit
- On satellite configure sudo (using visudo) in order to allow the central server to manage the Nagios daemon on the satellite monitor
 
 nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/nagios restart
 nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/nagios stop
 nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/nagios start
 nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/nagios reload
 nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/nagiostats
 nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/nagios *
- On satellite download, Compile and Install NDOMOD
cd /tmp
 wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagios/files/ndoutils-1.x/ndoutils-1.4b9/ndoutils-1.4b9.tar.gz/download
 tar xvzf ndoutils-1.4b9.tar.gz
 cd ndoutils-1.4b9
 ./configure --codefix=/usr/local/nagios/ --enable-mysql --disable-pgsql --with-ndo2db-user=nagios --with-ndo2db-group=nagios
 make
 cp ./src/ndomod-3x.o /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o
 chmod 774 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo*
 chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo*
 cp config/ndo* /usr/local/nagios/etc/
- In Centreon go and activate configuration of the Central Poller and the Satellite.

- On the satellite (because of a centreon bug?):
mkdir /usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceext/
 chown nagios:nagcmd /usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceext/
 
- On the satellite (depending on the configuration of the poller in Centreon):
mkdir /etc/centreon-broker
 chown root:nagios /etc/centreon-broker
 chmod 775 /etc/centreon-broker
 
 mkdir -p /etc/centreon/broker
 chown -R root:nagios /etc/centreon
 chmod -R 775 /etc/centreon
- On the satellite (because centcore dumps the files in the serviceext directory and not etc
/etc/init.d/nagios
 NagiosCfgFile=${prefix}/etc/nagios.cfg
 to
 NagiosCfgFile=${prefix}/etc/serviceext/nagios.cfg
- Create a blank starting webpage on the root of the webserver.
 touch /var/www/html/index.html
- Install CPAN module to prevent error with plugins like: 
 #perl -MCPAN -e shell
 cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
 cpan[1]> reload cpan
 cpan[1]> reload index
 cpan[1]> install Net::SNMP
 cpan[1]> install Getopt::Long
 cpan[1]> install Config::IniFiles

That’s it I hope.
